Abstract: Objective To select and summarize the best evidence for management of restless leg syndrome (RLS) during pregnancy, so as to provide evidence for clinical practice. Methods We conducted systematical research with computer in databases of BMJ, Cochrane Library, JBI, UpToDate, Embase, Clinical Trial, Web of Science, PubMed, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database, CBM, Medical Pulse, GIN, SIGN, NGC, ACOG and SOGC for all the evidence regarding management of RLS during pregnancy. Literature was evaluated and summarized by 2 researchers independently. Results Thirteen articles were enrolled, including 3 guidelines, 5 clinical decisions, 4 systematic reviews and 1 evidence summary. A total of 25 pieces of evidence were summarized, including assessment and diagnosis, general management principles, avoiding precipitating factors, health education, exercises, manual/equipment therapy and medication. Conclusion The best evidence is summarized into 7 aspects of assessment and diagnosis, general management principles, avoiding precipitating factors, health education, exercises, manual/equipment therapy and medication for the management of RLS during pregnancy. It is recommended that the 25 pieces of evidence be used into clinical practice to reduce the incidence of RLS and improve the quality of life during pregnancy.
