The data are presented as adjusted means (95% confidence interval). The adjustment variables include use of anxiolytics and hypnotics, baseline presence of RLS, time, and interaction of time and use of medications. The per-protocol analysis includes 127 participants, and the ITT analysis includes 235 participants. The global P values are based on testing time (baseline, month 4, and month 12) as a fixed effect from repeated measures analysis of covariance. P ≤ 0.05 for pair-wise comparisons of baseline versus month 4 and month 12 for individual components of the MOS sleep survey (both per-protocol and ITT cohort), with the exception of the snoring scale, sleep quantity, and optimal sleep comparisons of baseline versus month 4 and month 12.
