The Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine was named a quality care center by the Willis-Ekbom Disease Foundation.
It is the fifth center or clinic worldwide to be recognized for its expertise on Willis-Ekbom Disease, which is also known as restless legs syndrome. Four of Stanford's sleep specialists have expertise in treating restless legs syndrome, a chronic neurological disorder that can interrupt sleep and reduce the quality of life.
"Our partnership with the WED Foundation will improve the quality of life for individuals with Willis-Ekbom disease by guaranteeing the highest standard of care," said restless legs syndrome specialist Juliane Winkelmann, MD, professor of neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford.
