Psychosocial Adjunctive Treatment for Hypersomnia (PATH)

Current pharmacological treatments for chronic hypersomnia (narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia) can effectively reduce excessive daytime sleepiness but a high proportion of patients experience depressive symptoms and poor health-related quality of life. Unfortunately, there are currently no psychosocial interventions that directly addresses this issue. Therefore, the overall goal of this project is to gather initial outcome data and work out methodological issues to determine if a future pragmatic clinical trial is warranted.
