A letter to the editor proposes the term "restless X syndrome" (RXS) to describe variants of restless legs syndrome (RLS) that affect body parts other than the legs. The authors suggest that the term RXS could help improve recognition and diagnosis of these subtypes. The letter provides examples of patients with restless genital syndrome and restless chest syndrome, and discusses the use of pramipexole as a treatment for severe idiopathic RLS. The authors also mention various palliative factors for RXS, such as sensory stimuli and movements of affected body parts. The letter concludes by emphasizing the importance of early recognition of RXS for improving patient outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
