Excerpt

This Future Research Needs (FRN) project is a followup to the draft Comparative Effectiveness Review (CER), "Treatment for Restless Legs Syndrome." The review was motivated by uncertainty around the effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of treatments for restless legs syndrome (RLS). The purpose of this FRN project is to identify and prioritize specific gaps in the current literature about the effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of treatments for RLS for which additional research would aid decisionmakers.

We used a deliberative process to identify evidence gaps, translate gaps into researchable questions, and solicit stakeholder opinion on the importance of research questions. This report proposes specific research needs along with research design considerations that may be useful in advancing the field.
