ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline To The End Of The Maintenance Period in International Restless Legs Scale (IRLS) Sum ScoreBaseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)
The International Restless Legs Scale (IRLS) was intended to evaluate, in a standardized way, the subjective intensity of major symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and, in 2 items (9 and 10), the impact of the disease on subjects functioning in daytime activities by use of a 5-point scale for each of a total of 10 items. In all items, the scores ranged from 0 (not present) to 4 (severe). A sum score across all 10 items was calculated for analysis, which varied between 0 (no RLS symptoms present at all) to 40 (maximum severity in all symptoms).
Primary
Change In Average Of Means Of Multiple Suggested Immobilization Test Discomfort Scale (m-SIT-DS) Values Of Each Individual Suggested Immobilization Test (SIT) For The Combination Of Multiple Suggested Immobilization Test (m SIT)
Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)
The Multiple Suggested Immobilization Test Discomfort Scale (m-SIT-DS) was used for assessment of the sensory components of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) symptoms in order to provide a subjective score of the severity of RLS symptoms during each Suggested Immobilization Test (SIT). Scores ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (very severe symptoms) and were assessed every 10 minutes within each SIT.
Secondary
Change In Average Of Means Of Periodic Limb Movement During Wakefulness Index (PLMWI) Change In Average Of Means Of Periodic Limb Movement During Wakefulness Index (PLMWI) For The Combination Of Multiple Suggested Immobilization Test (m-SIT)
Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)
During each single Suggested Immobilization Test (SIT) PLMWI was measured using a validated actigraphy device. Simultaneous actigraphy of the legs was performed by an actigraphy device, which was attached to the ankle prior to the start of the SIT. The PLMWI was recorded while the subject was awake. Scores ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 10 (very severe symptoms) and were assessed every 10 minutes within each SIT.
SecondaryChange In Item Score From Baseline To The End Of The Maintenance Period In Satisfaction With Sleep (Item 1 of Restless Legs Syndrome 6 Rating Scales [RLS-6])Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)The RLS-6 is an 11-point scale. This 11-point scale was provided with ranges between (0 = completely satisfied) to (10 = completely dissatisfied).
SecondaryChange In Item Score From Baseline To The End Of The Maintenance Period In Severity Of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) At Bedtime (Item 2 of Restless Legs Syndrome 6 Rating Scales [RLS-6])Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)The RLS-6 is an 11-point scale. This 11-point scale was provided with ranges between (0 = none) to (10 = very severe).
SecondaryChange In Item Score From Baseline To The End Of The Maintenance Period In Severity Of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) During The Night (Item 3 of Restless Legs Syndrome 6 Rating Scales [RLS-6])Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)The RLS-6 is an 11-point scale. This 11-point scale was provided with ranges between (0 = none) to (10 = very severe).
SecondaryChange In Item Score From Baseline To The End Of The Maintenance Period In Severity Of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) At Daytime At Rest (Item 4 of Restless Legs Syndrome 6 Rating Scales [RLS-6])Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)The RLS-6 is an 11-point scale. This 11-point scale was provided with ranges between (0 = none) to (10 = very severe).
SecondaryChange In Item Score From Baseline To The End Of The Maintenance Period In Severity of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) At Daytime In Activity (Item 5 of Restless Legs Syndrome 6 Rating Scales [RLS-6])Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)The RLS-6 is an 11-point scale. This 11-point scale was provided with ranges between (0 = none) to (10 = very severe).
SecondaryChange In Item Score From Baseline To The End Of The Maintenance Period In Daytime Tiredness (Item 6 of Restless Legs Syndrome 6 Rating Scales [RLS-6])Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)The RLS-6 is an 11-point scale. This 11-point scale was provided with ranges between (0 = not at all) to (10 = very severe).
SecondaryChange From Baseline To The End Of Maintenance Period In Daytime Somnolence Domain Score Of The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale - Revised (MOS Sleep-R)Baseline to End of Maintenance Period (approximately 7 weeks)
The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale-Revised (MOS Sleep-R) is a self-administered questionnaire measuring several important aspects of sleep that have been validated in both general and patient populations. The MOS Sleep-R consists of 12-items. Responses for 10 of the 12 items are on a 5-point frequency scale with options ranging from "all of the time" to "none of the time". The other two items ask about the length of time to fall asleep and the average number of hours slept per night. The sleep problems index I allows for the summary of sleep problems using an abbreviated six-item index, whereas the sleep problems index II uses nine of the 12 items of the scale to compute an overall sleep problem summary. A higher score on each scale in summary index represents a lack of sleep problems (better sleep quality). All scores are transformed linearly to range from 0 to 100, with the exception of the sleep quantity subscale, which is scored in hours.
