Our assessment is designed to establish if you have features of  Restless Legs Syndrome ( RLS) and if you have Periodic Limb Movements  ( PLM) during sleep. We can also identify other sleep disorders or factors which will cause RLS or adversely affect your sleep. Our RLS assessment will indicate:

1. If you report significant features of RLS and how severe your complaint is.

2. An objective measurement of your leg movements before and during  3 nights of sleep.

3. If you report features of disturbed nocturnal sleep leading to unwelcome daytime sleepiness.

4. An objective measurement of your leg movements during sleep. 

What is included in our Assessment pack? We will send you questionnaires and sleep logs, which have been validated by sleep experts and are widely used in the assessment and treatment of sleep disorders. You will also receive 2 small accelerometers (movement detectors) for you to wear, one on each foot, over 3 consecutive nights.  These detectors will record your pre-sleep leg movements and movements throughout your usual sleep period.

How is the assessment analysed and reported back? Once returned by post your assessment will be analysed by one of our team. Our staff are members of national and international professional sleep societies and have a combined experience of over 30 years in sleep medicine. We will post the results of your assessment and our interpretation to either you or the doctor who requested the assessment. This report will include appropriate advice and information sheets specific to your needs.

What do you have to do now? If you wish to proceed with this assessment then contact us for more details. Whilst the cost is less than a third of that charged for staying a night in a private hospital bed with no treatment or tests, you should consider the cost and value of our service carefully.
