Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Yes, the current medical treatments available is in sufficient to cure restless leg syndrome. However there are few options available to control the condition and make you sleep better.
Before you try any interventions it's important that we withdraw any medical drugs aggravating the problem. Withdrawal should only be considered after weighing benefits and under professional guidance.
I have used roperinole in the dose of 2-3mg in a few patients with successful results. Carbamazepine is my second choice. There are similar dopaminergic and anticonvulsants used to control RLS. They are used in combination with sedation for better results. You should contact a qualified physician and consider medications.
As far as TENS, it is not approved yet as a treatment. However anecdotal reports from some users have reported good results. You may try it with medicines but under guidance for effective results.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you any other concerns.
Regards
