Testing social understanding in narcolepsy and hypersomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares “social cognition” (how people recognize and understand others’ thoughts and feelings) in adults with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia. It may help researchers better understand how these conditions can affect everyday social interactions.

This study looks at how narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia affects thinking and cardiovascular health, and how usual treatment medications may change those outcomes. It may help researchers understand risks and benefits of common hypersomnia therapies.
This study is looking at how common and how severe excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia) is in children and teenagers with various sleep and developmental conditions. If your child has one of these conditions and struggles with sleepiness, they may be able to join to help doctors better understand and treat it.
This study tests a new drug called E2086 to see if it can help reduce daytime sleepiness and sudden muscle weakness in adults with narcolepsy. It involves two groups: people with cataplexy (type 1) and those without (type 2).
This trial checks a new kind of paper-and-pen (or computer-based) test to better measure thinking and social/behavior skills in people with certain brain diseases. It may help researchers improve how these skills are tracked and understood over time.
This study looks at whether people with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia have different patterns of daydreaming and mind-wandering compared to others with sleepiness but no clear diagnosis. It helps understand how certain brain states during sleep might affect waking thoughts.
This study validates a French questionnaire that patients fill out about their sleep apnea symptoms. By joining, you help ensure the questionnaire accurately captures how patients feel, which could improve care for apnea in the future.
