Even though caution is needed before establishing a causal relationship, these cases suggest that restless legs-like symptoms might be an emergent adverse event of CGRP antibodies, regardless of the mechanism of action. We propose that plastic changes in CGRP sensory fibers, which are very abundant in legs, induced by CGRP monoclonal antibodies could be the reason for restless legs syndrome development.
