Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Patient's subjective report of significant RLS symptoms, obtained in a standard clinical interview [ Time Frame: at 2 and 4 weeks after IV iron, and monthly thereafter for 2 years or until oral meds resumed ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Intravenous Iron (FCM)
Drug: Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM)
500mg FCM in 250cc NS IV over one hour, once on Day 3, once on Day 4
12 participants: Placebo Comparator
Placebo
Drug: Placebo
250cc NS IV over one hour, once on Day 3, once on Day 4

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
  • Presence of increased PLMS before receiving treatment.
  • Patient sleep times are between 9pm and 9am.
  • Patient's RLS symptoms would occur daily if you were not on medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • RLS secondary to other medical disorders as determined by history and physical/neurological examination.
  • On a treatment (e.g., psychiatric medication) that might significantly alter RLS symptoms or study results and who cannot discontinue medication for the extended period of the study.
  • History of multiple adverse drug reactions or specifically an allergy to IV iron.
  • Currently experiencing a serious medical condition (chronic organ failure, active inflammation or infection, congestive heart failure, etc.) that might alter iron metabolism, would place them at risk, or interfere with study participation.
  • An MRI is not possible because of medical reasons (Pacemaker; loose iron in the tissue) or concern about severe claustrophobia.
  • Any condition that is likely to increase iron loss (chronic bleeding, excluding menstruation; medically necessary phlebotomy) or consumption (pregnancy).
  • Serum ferritin >300mg/L or percent iron saturation >50%. This is to exclude subjects with probable hemochromatosis.
  • Significant medical (e.g., inflammatory bowel syndrome; bowel dysmotility syndromes) or surgical (e.g., gastrojejunal bypass, colectomy) GI tract problems; and active chronic inflammatory processes (e.g., active hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE). This is to exclude conditions which will potentially alter iron metabolism.
