| Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of ultrashort wave combined with cognitive behavior therapy in treating restless legs syndrome caused by uremia. Methods: Thirty patients with restless legs syndrome caused by uremia were randomly divided into rehabilitation group and medical group (n=15 each). Rehabilitation group was given ultrashort wave combined with cognitive-behavior therapy on the basis of regular hemodialysis. Medical group was treated with L-Dopa on the basis of regular hemodialysis. Each group was treated for one month. The Restless Leg Syndrome Rating Scale (RLSRS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were selected to evaluate the therapeutic effects of two groups after treatment for one month. Results: RLSRS scores in each group were significantly reduced after treatment as compared with those before treatment (both P<0.05). The decline of scores in the rehabilitation group was more obviously than in the medical group (P<0.05). The PSQI score of rehabilitation group in sleep quality, sleep efficiency, daily dysfuntion and total score was significantly lower than that in medical group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion:Ultrashort wave combined with cognitive-behavior therapy had a better effect than L-Dopa only in relieving the symptoms and improving the sleep quality of patients with restless legs syndrome. This method deserved to be recommended as a good solution of restless legs syndrome therapy. |
