Is Restless Legs Syndrome disrupting your sleep?

You may be eligible to participate in a study evaluating a wearable device for RLS symptoms.

I'm Interested
Study overview

This study evaluates an investigational treatment option for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) based on a wearable device therapy (device that you put on your legs).

The study evaluates investigational prototypes of the Tonic Motor Activation (TOMAC) system. These prototypes have one or more settings or instructions that differ from the commercially available TOMAC System, which is cleared by the FDA and is intended to reduce symptoms of primary moderate-severe Restless Legs Syndrome and to improve sleep quality in adults refractory to medications.

In the 12-week study, you could potentially see the following types of relief:

reduced discomfort in the legs and feet
reduced urge to move the legs and feet
help with falling and staying asleep
If you’re currently taking RLS medication, you will be able to continue taking it during the study while using the study device.

Can I participate?

You may be eligible for this study if:

You have been diagnosed with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Currently, your RLS symptoms frequently interfere with staying asleep (3 or more nights/week)
Common symptoms include discomfort in the legs and feet, urge to move the legs and feet, and difficulty falling and staying asleep
You are willing to maintain your current RLS medication (if any) for the 12 weeks of this study

*This is not a complete list and other eligibility criteria may apply.

Why should I participate?

Your participation may contribute to improvements in TOMAC, a new therapy for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) based on a wearable medical device instead of a pill.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological condition that disrupts sleep quality and can dramatically reduce quality of life. There is no known cure for RLS, symptoms tend to worsen with age, and some existing medications for RLS become less effective over time.
By enrolling in this study:
You could potentially experience a reduction in your RLS symptoms such as:  
reduced discomfort in the legs and feet
reduced urge to move the legs and feet
help with falling and staying asleep
less difficulty falling and staying asleep
You could contribute to improvements in TOMAC, a new therapy for RLS

What is the purpose of this study?

The purpose of this study is to gain insights into ways to further improve the TOMAC system for individuals with RLS, including improving its effects on reducing RLS symptoms and improving sleep quality.

What's involved?

In this 12-week study, you will test an investigational treatment option for managing the symptoms of RLS based on a wearable study device instead of a medication.

Step 1

Application

Step 2

Pre-screening Phone Call

If you may be eligible, a patient outreach representative will call you, provide additional details about the study, and further evaluate your eligibility.

Step 3

Screening

The study team will determine if you are eligible to participate in the study; if you qualify and decide to participate, you will be enrolled in the study.

Step 4

Study

During the 12-week study duration, you will:

use wearable study device at home on nights that you experience RLS symptoms for 12-weeks
complete in-person visits to the study site at study start, study end, and every 2-4 weeks (total of between 4 and 6 visits)
complete a daily eDiary to record your experiences and symptoms

What is the treament?

The investigational device in this study is based on a wearable medical study device instead of a pill. The study device is worn on both legs, just below your knees.

Previous studies suggest that each use of the study device may result in rapid reduction of RLS symptoms, reducing discomfort in the legs and feet and reducing the urge to move the legs and feet.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get started?

Click “See if you may qualify” and enter your information to express interest in the study.

Why didn’t I qualify?

Studies are designed in specific ways to ensure that the data are meaningful and valid. One or more of the answers that you provided were outside of the guidelines for this study. This does not mean you will not qualify for different research studies.

Is there a chance I will receive a placebo?

No. All participants will receive active study treatment for the full 12-week period.

Where is the study conducted?

The study is being conducted at one site in Pleasanton, California.

How do I use the study device?

At the beginning of the study, you will receive training on how to use the study device at home.  You will also receive follow-up instructions and training throughout the study.

How does the study device work?

The study device delivers comfortable stimulation to the nerves of the legs. It is worn on both legs just below the knees.

Has the study device been tested before?

Similar versions of TOMAC have been tested in previous clinical studies. Previous studies suggest that similar versions of TOMAC may result in rapid reduction of RLS symptoms, such as reducing discomfort in the legs and feet and reducing the urge to move the legs and feet.

Will I receive compensation?

You will receive compensation for your time and travel.

Can I leave the study at any time?

Yes, you can leave the study at any time.

What is the duration of the study?

The study will last approximately 12 weeks.

What about my current medications?

If you’re currently taking medication, you will be able to continue taking it during the study while using the study device.

Can I keep the study devices after the study is over?

No, you will need to return the study devices after the study.
