About Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a disorder that affects the regulation of the natural sleep cycle. Many times, people who have Narcolepsy are usually misdiagnosed with other conditions before finding out that they have Narcolepsy, which can delay proper treatment for their condition.
People with Narcolepsy may have a number of different symptoms, some common symptoms are:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Loss of muscle tone
- Sleep paralysis
- Hallucinations
Although there is no cure for Narcolepsy, doctors can prescribe different treatments to help manage the condition that will help improve the quality of sleep and assist with feeling more awake and alert during the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Clinical Research Study?
A Clinical Research Study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study that helps answer important questions about an investigational drug or device, such as: does it work, or how effective is it compared to another drug/device?
All medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved by regulatory authorities for doctors to prescribe to patients. Without people taking part in these studies, we would have no new treatments. The volunteers who participate in clinical research studies play a major role in helping to advance medicine.
