Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Sleep disorders are important to place among the symptoms frequently seen in hemodialysis patients. Among sleep disorders, restless legs syndrome is the most common. Restless legs syndrome, seen in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment, causes excessive daytime sleepiness and negatively affects the sleep quality of individuals.
