Periodic limb movement disorder. Excessive periodic leg movements during sleep that cause micro-arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. This condition induces a state of relative sleep deprivation which manifests as excessive daytime hypersomnolence. The movements are characterized by repetitive contractions...

Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) is a condition that was formerly called sleep myoclonus or nocturnal myoclonus. It is described as repetitive limb movements that occur during sleep and cause sleep disruption.
Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) is one of the commonest neurological disorders and causes significant disability, if left untreated. However, it is rarely diagnosed in clinical practice, probably due to lack of awareness and/or lack of necessary diagnostic facilities.
People with PLMD experience repetitive jerking, cramping, or twitching of their lower limbs during sleep. These are known as periodic limb movements (PLMS) and happen every 5 to 90 seconds for up to an hour.
The primary difference is that RLS occurs while awake and PLMD occurs while sleeping.
PLMS are very common in patients with narcolepsy, REM behavior disorder, and Parkinson's disease.
The presented data shows that melatonin, administered to PLMD patients over a six-week period, significantly improved clinical symptoms of PLMD.
Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) involves repetitive movements of the arms, legs, or feet during sleep. A person with PLMD may twitch or kick for 5 to 90 seconds at a time, at least 15 times per hour.
PLMS are most frequent during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep stages 1 and 2. The movements become less frequent during stage 3 of NREM sleep and during REM sleep.
You may experience involuntary jerking or twitching movements of the legs while sitting or lying awake, an uncontrollable urge and uncomfortable sensation in the legs (or possibly arms), and sometimes a creepy, crawly feeling that occurs more often in the evening.
Sometimes called periodic limb movements of sleep, this condition causes your legs or arms to move frequently during sleep. PLMD can cause daytime drowsiness, but it often goes undetected because you aren't aware of the movements while you're asleep. RLS can cause PLMD.
The PLM Index (PLMI) is calculated by dividing the total number of PLMs by sleep time in hours. Periodic Limb Movements Index of more than 5 and less than 25 is considered mild; PLMI of >25 and <50 is considered moderate and >50 is severe.
A series of four or more PLMs with an interval of 5 or 90 seconds between the onset of each limb movement is considered periodic. It is also helpful to note whether the periodic movements are leading to an arousal and disturbing sleep.
