Purpose: The restless legs syndrome is more frequent and critical in Multiple Sclerosis patients, and it harms their general well-being and life quality. Alpha-synuclein is a synuclein protein that can have an impact on the pathway of signaling, affecting the Dopamin 2 receptor and its receptor trafficking. Studies have shown that the decrease in dopamine 2 receptor and Restless Legs Syndrome disease are correlated. This study is aimed to ascertain the alpha-synuclein level in multiple sclerosis patients with restless legs syndrome.
