    Abstract Narcolepsy is a chronic, disabling neurologic disorder characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and, in up to 60% of patients, cataplexy. Treatments for narcolepsy are aimed at improving wakefulness (e.g. modafinil, armodafinil, stimulants), reducing cataplexy attacks (e.g. sodium oxybate, venlafaxine), and treating the symptoms of disturbed nocturnal sleep, sleep paralysis and sleep-related hallucinations (e.g. sodium oxybate). In general, medications that increase the release, or inhibit the reuptake, of norepinephrine or dopamine have wake-promoting effects and are useful in managing EDS, whereas medications that inhibit serotonin or norepinephrine reuptake have anticataplectic effects.

  4. Article ; Online: Brain fog in central disorders of hypersomnolence: a review.

    Abstract: ... Rosenberg R, Thorpy MJ, Doghramji K, Morse AM. Brain fog in central disorders of hypersomnolence: a review. ...

    Abstract Brain fog is an undefined term describing a cluster of symptoms related to fatigue and impaired memory, attention, and concentration. Brain fog or brain fog-like symptoms have been reported in central disorders of hypersomnolence and in a range of seemingly unrelated disorders, including coronavirus disease 2019, major depressive disorder, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and celiac disease. This narrative review summarizes current evidence and proposes a consensus definition for brain fog. Brain fog is prevalent in narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, with more than three-quarters of patients with either disorder reporting this symptom in a registry study; it has also been reported as particularly difficult to treat in idiopathic hypersomnia. Studies directly evaluating brain fog are rare; tools for evaluating this symptom cluster typically are patient reports, with few objective measures validated in any disorder. Evaluating brain fog is further complicated by confounding symptoms, such as excessive daytime sleepiness, which is a hallmark of hypersomnolence disorders. No treatments specifically address brain fog. The paucity of literature, assessment tools, and medications for brain fog highlights the need for research leading to better disambiguation and treatment. Until a clear consensus definition is established, we propose brain fog in hypersomnia disorders be defined as a cognitive dysfunction that may or may not be linked with excessive sleepiness, related to an underlying neuronal dysfunction, which reduces concentration and impairs information processing, leading to a complaint of lack of clarity of mental thinking and awareness.

    Abstract Introduction: Low-sodium oxybate (LXB) is approved for treatment of narcolepsy in patients aged 7 years and older and treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia in adults. LXB contains the same active moiety with 92% less sodium than sodium oxybate (SXB). As the indication for oxybate treatment in patients with idiopathic hypersomnia is new and allows for individualized dosing optimization, guidance for beginning LXB treatment is needed. In particular, clinicians may benefit from guidance regarding treatment initiation, dosing/regimen options, potential challenges, and treatment expectations. Additionally, pharmacokinetic profiles differ slightly between both treatments, and further guidance on transitioning from SXB to LXB in patients with narcolepsy may aid clinicians.
    Methods: An expert panel of five sleep specialists was convened to obtain consensus on recommendations for these topics using a modified Delphi process.
    Results: Across two virtual meetings, the panel agreed on 31 recommendations with a high degree of consensus that fell into four overarching topics: (1) introducing LXB to patients; (2) initiating LXB for adult narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia; (3) addressing challenges in using LXB; and (4) transitioning from SXB to LXB. The panel recommended that clinicians provide a clear overview of how LXB works for treating symptoms in narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia, as appropriate for their patients, explain safety aspects, and set expectations prior to initiating LXB treatment. Strategies for initial dosing and regimen are provided. Strategies for adjusting the dose, regimen, timing, and consideration of individual factors were developed for specific instances in which patients may have trouble staying asleep or waking up, as well as guidance for addressing potential adverse events, such as nausea, dizziness, anxiety, and depression. Discussion points based on existing literature and clinical experience were included as relevant for each statement.
    Conclusion: Clinicians may use this resource to guide LXB dosing optimization with patients.

    Methods: Participants with narcolepsy aged ≥16 years received ON-SXB (1 wk, 4.5 g; 2 wk, 6 g; 5 wk, 7.5 g; 5 wk, 9 g) or placebo. Percentages of participants with NT1 who had ≥25%, ≥50%, ≥75%, and 100% reductions from baseline in mean number of weekly cataplexy episodes were determined. Two-sided
    Results: Participants with NT1 (ON-SXB, n = 73; placebo, n = 72; modified intent-to-treat population) had a baseline mean number of weekly cataplexy episodes of 18.9 (ON-SXB) and 19.8 (placebo). Of participants receiving the highest doses of ON-SXB (7.5 and 9 g), approximately half had a 50% reduction, one-third had a 75% reduction, and one-tenth had a 100% reduction in their cataplexy episodes vs placebo. Significantly greater proportions of participants receiving ON-SXB vs placebo had respective reductions in weekly cataplexy episodes of ≥25% at weeks 1 (4.5 g;
    Conclusions: A significantly greater proportion of participants receiving ON-SXB vs placebo experienced reductions in weekly cataplexy episodes at all tested doses. Approximately 10% of participants taking the 2 highest ON-SXB doses had complete elimination of their cataplexy.

    Abstract What is this summary about?: This is a plain language summary of a published article in the journal
    What were the results?: Compared to people who took placebo, people who took ON-SXB had fewer number of changes from deeper to lighter sleep stages and woke up less during the night. They also reported that they slept better at night and felt more refreshed when waking up in the morning. People with narcolepsy sometimes take alerting agents to help with sleepiness during the day, but alerting agents can cause difficulty sleeping at night. This study showed that people who took ON-SXB had better nighttime sleep even if they were taking alerting agents during the day. The most common side effects of ON-SXB included dizziness, nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), vomiting, headache, and bedwetting.
    What do the results mean?: A once-nightly bedtime dose of ON-SXB is a narcolepsy treatment option for people without the need for a middle-of-the-night dose of sodium oxybate.

    Abstract Narcolepsy is a chronic neurologic disorder associated with the dysregulation of the sleep-wake cycle that often leads to a decreased quality of life and results in a considerable health burden. There is often a delay to diagnosis of narcolepsy, mainly due to the lack of recognition of this disorder. One of the main factors hindering the diagnosis of narcolepsy is the association of comorbidities, which include other sleep disorders, psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and metabolic disorders. The signs and symptoms of these comorbidities often overlap with those of narcolepsy, and some of the medications used for their treatment may obscure the symptoms of narcolepsy, leading to a delay in diagnosis. This review is targeted to clinicians unaccustomed to working with sleep disorders and aims to increase recognition and improve the management of narcolepsy.
