Article Abstract
Recent research reported an association between pediatric Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and psychiatric disorders, in particular attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in which shared symptoms, such as restlessness and difficulty concentrating, can make differential diagnosis challenging. Comorbidities with depression and anxiety, present in adults, have to be considered in children. Behavioral and psychosomatic disorders and autism can be associated with RLS. Both neurobiologic mechanisms and clinical implication could explain the several comorbidities. In clinical practice, pediatric RLS patients should be evaluated for the presence of psychiatric disorders to tailor multidisciplinary intervention and integrated treatment.

Background: In pediatric intensive care units, pain, sedation, delirium, and iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) must be managed as interrelated conditions. Although clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) exist, new evidence needs to be incorporated, gaps in recommendations addressed, and recommendations adapted to the European context.
Objective: This protocol describes the development of the first patient- and family-informed European guideline for managing pain, sedation, delirium, and IWS by the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care.

Introduction: Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a common neurological condition that often goes undiagnosed, especially in children. Characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, it is typically more pronounced in the evening and at rest. Growing Pains (GP), common in childhood and associated with migraine, present apparently overlapping symptoms with RLS, making it sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two.
