This non-interventional observational study is designed to gain data for Neupro® in restless legs syndrome (RLS) under real life conditions in line with the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) related to effectiveness, tolerability and switching practice from other dopaminergic drugs as well as titration schemes.
There is a total of 64 subjects recorded as having discontinued due to Adverse Events. Documentation of Visit 2 and Visit 3, where the reason for discontinuation was documented, was not available for all subjects. From the documentation on the Adverse Events page in the Case Report Form, it is known that 100 subjects discontinued due to Adverse Events. The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was utilized for all outcomes.

Severity of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) at Bedtime
Severity of RLS at bedtime measured as change from baseline to end of observation period (Item 2 RLS-6 scale). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was utilized for all outcomes. The RLS-6 scale is an 11-point scale (from 0 = not present/completely satisfied to 10 = very severe/completely dissatisfied) to establish an individual severity profile at various day and night times (at bedtime; during the night; during the day when the patients are resting, or during the day when the patients are involved in daily activities).
Time frame: From Baseline to end of Observation Period (3 months).
Severity of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) During the Night
Severity of RLS during the night measured as change from baseline to end of observation period (Item 3 RLS-6 scale). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was utilized for all outcomes. The RLS-6 scale is an 11-point scale (from 0 = not present/completely satisfied to 10 = very severe/completely dissatisfied) to establish an individual severity profile at various day and night times (at bedtime; during the night; during the day when the patients are resting, or during the day when the patients are involved in daily activities).
Time frame: From Baseline to end of Observation Period (3 months).
Satisfaction With Sleep
Satisfaction with sleep measured as change from baseline to end of observation period (Item 1 RLS-6 scale). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was utilized for all outcomes. The RLS-6 scale is an 11-point scale (from 0 = not present/completely satisfied to 10 = very severe/completely dissatisfied) to establish an individual severity profile at various day and night times (at bedtime; during the night; during the day when the patients are resting, or during the day when the patients are involved in daily activities).
Time frame: From Baseline to end of Observation Period (3 months).

Severity of RLS at daytime at rest measured as change from baseline to end of observation period (Item 4 RLS-6 scale). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was utilized for all outcomes. The RLS-6 scale is an 11-point scale (from 0 = not present/completely satisfied to 10 = very severe/completely dissatisfied) to establish an individual severity profile at various day and night times (at bedtime; during the night; during the day when the patients are resting, or during the day when the patients are involved in daily activities).
Time frame: From Baseline to end of Observation Period (3 months).
Severity of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) at Daytime in Activity
Severity of RLS at daytime in activity measured as change from baseline to end of observation period (Item 5 RLS-6 scale). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was utilized for all outcomes. The RLS-6 scale is an 11-point scale (from 0 = not present/completely satisfied to 10 = very severe/completely dissatisfied) to establish an individual severity profile at various day and night times (at bedtime; during the night; during the day when the patients are resting, or during the day when the patients are involved in daily activities).
Time frame: From Baseline to end of Observation Period (3 months).
Daytime Tiredness
Daytime tiredness measured as change from baseline to end of observation period (Item 6 RLS-6 scale). The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method was utilized for all outcomes. The RLS-6 scale is an 11-point scale (from 0 = not present/completely satisfied to 10 = very severe/completely dissatisfied) to establish an individual severity profile at various day and night times (at bedtime; during the night; during the day when the patients are resting, or during the day when the patients are involved in daily activities).
Time frame: From Baseline to end of Observation Period (3 months).
