Description
Karem Parejo and co-authors examine how United States guidelines for restless legs syndrome fit Latin America, in this 2025 paper. The condition makes legs feel unbearable at rest and ruins sleep. Care varies by region because drugs, clinics, and budgets differ.
The authors review diagnosis hurdles in the region, starting with iron checks that many areas cannot run easily. First-choice drugs are hard to get in places, so older dopamine drugs remain common despite a known worsening risk. Calming drugs are used often, while strong pain drugs stay scarce. The paper urges adapting global guidance to local realities and building regional research.
