Sleep Disorder: Prognosis of Periodic Limb Movement Disorder



Prognosis Of Periodic Limb Movement Disorder

There is no permanent cure for Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD) but medical treatment must be offered to reduce or eliminate the symptoms.


Primary Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) may be a chronic or a permanent condition. Many people with primary PLMD have improved night time sleep (remission) with treatment but experience one or more relapses over time.

Secondary periodic limb movement disorder may cease with the treatment of the underlying cause.
