Why Nonpharmaceutical Treatment?
While pharmaceutical options can be effective, they have significant side effects and can lose efficacy over time. Our goal is to help you find an alternative drug-free treatment so you can find relief without introducing new problems and unnecessary complications.
​
From research, we have found three types of stimulation that attack RLS symptoms in different ways: tactile, thermal, and electrical stimulation. Because RLS affects people differently, we aim to provide many treatment options so patients can try different techniques until they find a therapy or combination of therapies that works for them. Information about each treatment modality and existing devices on the market can be found on the individual stimulation pages.
​
Do note that for more severe cases of RLS, non-pharmaceutical treatments may not be sufficient but we do encourage all patients to test out some of the suggested stimulation treatments.
