About Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a long-term neurological disorder that specifically affects the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. The disorder affects both males and females equally, with symptoms often starting in childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood (ages 7 to 25 years).
People with narcolepsy are often misdiagnosed with other conditions, such as psychiatric disorders or medical disorders, delaying proper diagnosis and treatment for years.
The main symptom of narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness.
Other symptoms of narcolepsy may include:
- Sudden loss of muscle tone
- Sleep paralysis
- Hallucinations
To treat narcolepsy, a doctor may prescribe stimulants to help keep you alert and awake throughout the day. A doctor may also suggest other medications, like antidepressants, to help manage the condition.
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.
What can you expect from the Narcolepsy Studies?
The Narcolepsy Studies will include various visits to a study clinic in your area and follow up phone calls at designated times.
All study-related care is provided at no cost to you. You do not need health insurance to participate.
Volunteers who take part in the study will receive compensation for their time and travel.
Participation is entirely voluntary. Even if you decide to take part in this study, you can change your mind about participating at any time.
Is there a cost to participate?
There is no cost to participate in the Narcolepsy Studies. If you qualify, the investigational drug, study-related tests, assessments, and visits will be provided to you at no cost. You will receive study-related care throughout the study from a team of professional doctors and nurses at no cost to you.
Will I be compensated for time and travel?
Volunteers who take part in the Narcolepsy Studies will be compensated for their time and travel. Please discuss this with the study team when they contact you.
