Good job. You're doing the MEDLINE stuff just right. (Exploding,
using subheadings, "limiting," etc.)

My only thought was: "there are two questions in here, but the
MEDLINE search reflects only one of them..."

In other words, I think your search got articles about using
Clonazepam for Restless Legs, but if you wanted articles about the
pathophysiology of Restless Legs, you really didn't get that.

(I'm just reading your question with great "literalness.")

Anyway, congrats on the MEDLINE search.
