New Restless Legs Syndrome Data Have Been Reported by Researchers at Jonkoping University [Validation of Two Brief Instruments (The Sure and Collaborate) To Measure Shared Decision-making In Patients With Restless Legs Syndrome].

Researchers at Jonkoping University in Sweden have conducted a study on Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), a common neurological disorder characterized by an urge to move arms and legs, often accompanied by discomfort, pain, restlessness, and sleep disturbance. The study aimed to validate two instruments, SURE and CollaboRATE, to measure shared decision-making (SDM) in patients with RLS. The instruments were found to be unidimensional with satisfactory internal consistency, making them potential tools for research and reflection by healthcare professionals, patients, and students to explore and assess SDM in clinical care. This research has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]
