Evi Holzknecht, MD, Medical University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria, discusses the findings of a prospective study evaluating potential linguistic differences between genders when describing symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS). Dr. Holzknecht believes that men may be more pragmatic in symptom management and that patient perceptions should be considered during treatment.
