Participants with restless legs syndrome will receive dry needling with electrical stimulation to the lower extremities

Administered for a total of 2 sessions at a frequency of once per week. The target muscles to be needled will include the gastronemius, soleus, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, anterior tibialis, posterior tibialis, biceps femoris, and gluteus medius.

Measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Self-report questionnaire that measures general sleep quality. The scoring range is 0-21 with 0-3 scoring for each component. Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality.

Measured using a consumer-grade sleep tracking device.

RLS symptom severity of each participant will be indexed with likert scale ratings and subacutely by completion of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLSRS). The IRLSRS has demonstrated to be a valid and reliable outcome measure for RLS symptom severity. The scale consists of 10 questions concerning each patient's symptoms and the impact of those symptoms on daily activities and mood. Each question contains answers that score from 0 to 4 points, with 0 representing the absence of a problem and 4 representing a very severe problem. Total scores can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.

Measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), an 11-point numeric scale ranging from '0' representing "no pain" to '10' representing "worst pain imaginable."
