ICD10 code of Restless Leg Syndrome and ICD9 code

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations in the legs. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for Restless Leg Syndrome is F45.8. This code falls under the category of "Somatoform Disorders" which encompasses conditions involving physical symptoms without a clear medical cause.

In the previous edition, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), Restless Leg Syndrome was categorized under code 333.94. This code was part of the "Extrapyramidal and Movement Disorders" section.

It's important to note that ICD-10 codes are more detailed and specific compared to ICD-9 codes, allowing for better classification and analysis of various medical conditions. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes aimed to enhance accuracy and improve the overall understanding of diseases and disorders.
