Narcolepsy with Cataplexy: Diagnosis and Sodium Oxybate Treatment
Narcolepsy with cataplexy is a rare neurological disorder causing uncontrollable sleep attacks and sudden muscle weakness. Diagnosis requires clinical evaluation, sleep studies, and sometimes CSF testing. Sodium oxybate (Xyrem/Xywav) is the most effective treatment, reducing cataplexy by up to 90%.
