A Controlled Study of Additional sr-L-dopa in L-dopa-responsive Restless Legs Syndrome with Late-Night Symptoms
Neurol 52:285-290, Collado-Seidel,V.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
To investigate whether a combination treatment of regular release levodopa (rr-l-dopa) and sustained release levodopa (sr-l-dopa) compared with monotherapy of rr-l-dopa improves sleep quality and reduces periodic limb movements (PLM) in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) and problems with maintaining sleep. A combination therapy of rr-l-dopa and sr-l-dopa is better than monotherapy with rr-l-dopa in reducing the frequency of PLM and problems maintaining sleep, even in patients who are severely affected.
