Future or Investigational Therapies

Controversies

Recently, several major pharmaceutical companies are reported to be marketing drugs without an explicit approval for RLS, which are "off-label" applications for drugs approved for other diseases. The Restless Leg Foundation [1] received 44% of its $1.4 million in funding from these pharmaceutical groups[2]. This has called into question the neutrality of this group (significant conflict of interest issue) and the course of action which they recommend to RLS patients.
