Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) or Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD) can be treated using high frequency (HF) electrostimulation. This can include selecting or receiving a subject presenting with RLSor PLMD. At least one electrostimulation electrode can be located at a location associated with at least one of, or at least one branch of, a sural nerve, a peroneal nerve, or a femoral nerve. HF electrostimulation can be delivered to the subject, which can include delivering subsensory, subthreshold, AC electrostimulation at a frequency that exceeds 500 Hz and is less than 15,000 Hz to the location to help reduce or alleviate the one or more symptoms associated with RLS or PLMD. A charge-balanced controlled-current HF electrostimulation waveform can be used. 可以使用高频(HF)电刺激来治疗不宁腿综合征(RLS)或周期性肢体运动障碍(PLMD)。这可以包括选择或接收呈现RLS或PLMD的受试者。至少一个电刺激电极可以位于与腓肠神经、腓神经或股神经中的至少一个或腓肠神经、腓神经或股神经的至少一个分支相关联的位置处。HF电刺激可以被传递给受试者，这可以包括以超过500Hz并且小于15,000Hz的频率向所述位置传递亚感觉、亚阈值、AC电刺激以帮助减少或减轻与RLS或PLMD相关联的一种或更多种症状。可以使用电荷平衡的受控电流HF电刺激波形。
