EARLS at I disturbi del sonno in eta' evolutiva e adulta - Event
Trento (Italy), 13 April 2024: As part of a great lecture event on sleep disorders in children and adults with a focus on obstructive sleep apnoea, restless legs syndrome, insomnia and dental sleep medicine, there was also an opportunity to present the EARLS and its work. A particular focus was on the Expert Finder project. Our Expert Finder aims to give people with RLS across Europe the opportunity to find support in their region. Through a qualified diagnosis in the sleep laboratory, through therapy, or the exchange with other affected persons, both sleep and quality of life of RLS patients can be significantly improved in the long term.
