Statement of Need
Narcolepsy is a devastating neurological condition characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). It carries a high degree of disability, comorbidity, and burden. While stimulants are typically regarded as first-line therapies for EDS, they are often associated with efficacy, safety, and tolerability issues. Non-stimulants have emerged as demonstrating considerable safety as well as efficacy in a variety of domains beyond mere improved EDS, but also psychosocial functioning, work performance, and driving. However, developing safe, effective treatment regimens, particularly as it pertains to treatment initiation and modification, may be challenging.
This CME Outfitters Snack will provide clinicians with the latest evidence on real-world strategies for dosing and titrating pharmacotherapies for the management of narcolepsy.
