15 Narcolepsy andIdiopathic Hypersomnia
https://t.me/medicina_free
Table 15.2 Diagnostic criteria for idiopathic hypersomnia
Idiopathic hypersomnia
1. At least 3months of EDS
2. Cataplexy is not present The MSLT should show a sleep latency of ≤8min and less than two sleep onset REM
3. periods; if the preceding PSG has a sleep onset REM period (i.e., within 15minutes of sleep onset), then there should not be a SOREMP on the MSLT.
4.
If the mean sleep latency on the MSLT is >8min, then a total sleep time of at least 11hrs/24hr. period should be demonstrated either with a 24hr. polysomnogram or by wrist actigraphy and sleep log (averaged over at least 7days)
5. Insufcient sleep syndrome should be ruled out
6. Other sleep, medical, or psychiatric disorders or medications/drugs should not better explain the EDS and/or MSLT ndings
Adapted from American Academy of Sleep Medicine [

following an overnight polysomnogram to do a MSLT does not allow for the docu­mentation of a prolonged sleep time. Additionally, the mean sleep latency on the MSLT may not always be diagnostic, and the short naps scheduled every 2h do not allow for the demonstration of prolonged unrefreshing naps. Therefore, as an alter­native to the MSLT showing a mean sleep latency of ≤8min, the typical nocturnal sleep duration of at least 11hours can be demonstrated with a 24 hr. polysomno­graphic recording or by wrist actigraphy and sleep logs over at least 7 days. Insufcient sleep syndrome and other sleep disorders should also be ruled out [3].
Similar to adults, before a diagnosis of idiopathic hypersomnia is made in chil­dren, other sleep disorders, especially insufcient sleep syndrome, and use of recre­ational drugs should be ruled out. If the sleep duration criteria is being used to diagnose idiopathic hypersomnia in the pediatric population, age appropriate nor­mal values for total sleep time should be taken into account. A repeat MSLT study should be considered in patients diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia after a cer­tain time interval, because SOREMPs may develop overtime in narcolepsy. If 2 or more SOREMP are present in the repeat PSG/MSLT study, then the patient should be reclassied as having NT2.
It is evident by many experts that the current diagnostic criteria have its limita­tions. It relies on ancillary testing such as the MSLT that is not well validated in all patient populations and is relatively nonspecic. The stability of repeated MSLT results is also in question with one study showing only 10–20% of patients with a positive initial MSLT being positive after the test was repeated in 4 years [62]. Additionally, although validated, the method for measurement of CSF hypocretin levels has some issues [63–65]. Sakai etal. showed that the typical method of hypo­cretin measurement actually measures hypocretin-1 metabolites believed to be inac­tive. Therefore, while standard testing would demonstrate deciency of “hypocretin- 1” in some NT1 patients, an alternative method of testing which mea­sures the true active hypocretin-1 protein can actually demonstrate some degree of deciency in NT1 and NT2 patients that were found to have no deciency when tested with standard techniques [64].

Accordingly, it stands to reason that diagnostic tools utilizing other markers to aid in the diagnosis of narcolepsy are needed. For instance, Stephansen etal. dem­onstrated that a combination of a more thorough evaluation of the overnight poly­somnogram and HLA testing yielded a high sensitivity and specicity for NT1 diagnosis. A PSG analysis revealing unusual sleep stage overlap alone achieved a sensitivity of 91% and specicity of 96%, and when combined with testing showing HLA-DQB1*0602, the specicity increased to 99% [66]. Identication of REM sleep without atonia (in at least 8% of stage REM sleep epochs) in the pediatric population has demonstrated high specicity for the diagnosis of narcolepsy [67]. Additionally, Murer etal. veried that sleep stage analysis with better characteriza­tion of REM sleep duration and sleep stage sequence during the PSG contributed to a higher MSLT specicity for narcolepsy [68].
Other features in patients with narcolepsy have been identied, and future tools utilizing these ndings may aid in diagnosing narcolepsy or differentiating it from other hypersomnias. For instance, the frequency and distribution of eye movements during various sleep stages throughout the night as well as while awake was shown to be signicantly different in NT1 patients compared to clinical controls as well as NT2 patients [69]. Furthermore, heart rate variability abnormalities during stage NREM 2 and non-dipping blood pressure patterns were found to be more prevalent in NT1 patients compared to control groups [70, 71]. Additionally, certain neuro­anatomical correlates on neuroimaging studies may also contribute to diagnosing narcolepsy and other hypersomnias [72].

Differential Diagnosis
Excessive sleepiness is common to many sleep disorders, besides narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, and can also be a normal phenomenon in certain circum­stances (e.g., sleep deprivation). Some of these sleep disorders can be differentiated from narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia by history. For instance, identication of a disruptive environmental feature during sleep may lead one to the diagnosis of an environmental sleep disorder. A history of sleeping less than expected from age­adjusted normative data or having a sleep period that is delayed, advanced, or irreg­ular would suggest behaviorally induced, insufcient sleep syndrome or a circadian rhythm disorder, respectively. A description of normal sleep between episodes of hypersomnia can suggest a diagnosis of recurrent hypersomnia. Certain psychiatric disorders (e.g., depression or substance abuse) can also be responsible for excessive sleepiness and are identiable on history.
Narcolepsy is commonly comorbid with several medical and psychiatric disor­ders that can not only cause a misdiagnosis but can complicate narcolepsy treat­ment. Cardiac, mental, neurologic, gastrointestinal, renal, and pulmonary disorders are more common in narcolepsy [73]. Cardiac disorders can complicate therapy as some narcolepsy medications can cause cardiac arrhythmias or exacerbate uid retention and add to hypertension or heart failure. Of the mental disorders,
15 Narcolepsy andIdiopathic Hypersomnia
https://t.me/medicina_free
depression and anxiety are particularly prevalent and are common causes of delay in narcolepsy diagnosis. Anxiety disorders can contribute to stimulant medication failure due to exacerbating adverse effects [74]. In addition, concurrent sleep disor­ders, such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, sleep deprivation, restless legs syn­drome, and circadian rhythm disorders, can contribute to, or mask, a narcolepsy diagnosis.
Disorders that cause excessive sleepiness cannot always be identied by history alone; additional studies to differentiate them from narcolepsy and idiopathic hyper­somnia are often required. A polysomnogram will help identify sleep disordered breathing. Imaging studies may discover the presence of a brain tumor or stroke (although other ndings on exam are also usually present). Blood work or CSF analysis can help identify metabolic abnormalities or encephalitis as a cause of sleepiness. There was a case report by Maestri etal. [75] on a patient that was diag­nosed with idiopathic hypersomnia but after further evaluation was found to have an insulinoma. After management of the insulinoma, his symptoms of excessive sleep­iness resolved. Another report by Shinno etal. [76] identied a patient with idio­pathic hypersomnia who was subsequently found to have subclinical hypothyroidism; after management with levothyroxine his sleepiness improved.
History and additional laboratory studies are also useful in ruling out disorders that can mimic cataplexy. Transient weakness episodes can represent transient isch­emic attacks (TIAs) if there is no history of an association with emotion or if there is a history of vascular risk factors and/or stroke. Seizures, syncope, and brainstem or diencephalic tumors can look like cataplexy; a positive EEG may suggest sei­zures; imaging studies can help identify tumors; and a history of loss of conscious­ness may help differentiate syncope or seizures from cataplexy.

Excessive Sleepiness Due to Head Trauma
Sleep disturbances, including excessive sleepiness, can occur as a result of trau­matic brain injury (TBI); accordingly, TBI should be considered in the differential diagnosis of excessive sleepiness. Some researchers contend that the excessive sleepiness is due to the increased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea and periodic limb movement disorder that is seen in TBI patients [77]. In addition, changes in nocturnal sleep pattern seen in TBI patients are similar to those of depressed patients, namely, increased nighttime awakenings and longer sleep onset latency [78]. It is speculated that the sleepiness is due in part to this disturbed nocturnal sleep and that treatment of concomitant mood disorders may improve the sleepiness in the TBI patients; however, further research needs to be done in this area.
Hypothalamic damage, not necessarily visible on imaging studies, may be responsible for the excessive sleepiness that is seen in many TBI patients. The ICSD-3 classied this group of TBI patients under several separate subtypes: NT1 or NT2 due to a medical condition and hypersomnia due to a medical condition (posttraumatic hypersomnia subtype). A 2007 study found that the CSF
340
https://t.me/medicina_free
hypocretin- 1 levels were decreased in these TBI patients, and a follow-up study in 2009 demonstrated the number of hypocretin neurons in the hypothalamus was sig­nicantly reduced [79, 80]. The loss of hypocretin is likely the etiology underlying TBI associated with narcolepsy and possibly post-traumatic hypersomnia.

Treatment
There is no known cure for either narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia; however, with respect to idiopathic hypersomnia, there are reports of spontaneous remission [25]. For those with persistent disease, treatment is targeted at symptom manage­ment. Even with optimum management, the EDS in narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia patients, and the cataplexy in narcolepsy patients, are seldom com­pletely controlled.
Nonpharmacologic Management
Nonpharmacologic management should be initiated in all patients. Patient educa­tion is an important component of any treatment plan. Good sleep habits with avoid­ance of sleep deprivation and/or irregular sleep patterns should be emphasized. In narcolepsy patients, the scheduling of short naps (15–20min) 2–3 times/day can help control EDS and improve alertness, but this is impractical in many settings. Napping, in contrast, is not recommended for management of sleepiness in patients with idiopathic hypersomnia as it usually does not help and may result in unpleasant sleep inertia. Patients and family members should also be warned about the poten­tial dangers of sleepiness relative to driving and/or in other hazardous settings. Typically, lifestyle changes alone are not enough to adequately control the symp­toms of either narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia; most patients require lifelong medication.
Pharmacologic Management ofSymptoms Common toBoth Narcolepsy andIdiopathic Hypersomnia
Pharmacological management of EDS, with a few exceptions, is similar in both narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia; however, it should be noted that random­ized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials have not been done on idio­pathic hypersomnia patients. Stimulants, such as methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine, have previously been used as rst-line therapy. This transi­tioned to the use of modanil and armodanil as rst-line treatment for most patients [81, 82], and more recently a newer agent, solriamfetol, might be the next agent that
15 Narcolepsy andIdiopathic Hypersomnia
https://t.me/medicina_free
341
will gain acceptance as initial therapy for EDS treatment. Most clinical studies of stimulant medications report objective improvements in sleepiness in 65–85% of subjects.
Common adverse effects associated with stimulants include nervousness, head­aches, irritability, tremor, insomnia, anorexia, gastrointestinal upset, and cardiovas­cular stimulation [83]. The development of drug tolerance or addiction can also occur; however, this risk is thought to be less than in other patient groups.
Modanil is generally well tolerated, with headache and nausea being the most common side effects. Rarely, severe rashes and allergic reactions can occur. Modanil also increases the metabolism of ethinylestradiol which lessens the ef­cacy of oral contraceptive agents. Armodanil is the long-acting dextro-enantiomer component of racemic modanil, which has equal amounts of S- and R-modanil. It has a similar therapeutic and side effect prole to racemic modanil, but with the advantage of having a longer elimination half-life (t ½) (3–4h for S-modanil vs. 10–15h for armodanil) [84]. Although comparative studies have not been done in narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia, armodanil has been shown to be effective and produce longer wakefulness than racemic modanil in patients with sleepiness due to acute sleep loss [85].
Sodium oxybate, the sodium salt of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), an endog­enous substance in the brain, is an effective medication in the treatment of daytime sleepiness cataplexy and sleep disruption in narcolepsy [81, 86, 87] and perhaps also the sleep-related hallucinations and sleep paralysis episodes prominent in this disorder. It is currently being studied in patients with idiopathic hypersomnia. Sodium oxybate’s adverse effects include nausea (19%), dizziness (18% incidence), headache (18%), nasopharyngitis (6%), somnolence (6%), vomiting (8%), and uri­nary incontinence (6%) with most described as mild or moderate in severity. Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and enuresis may be dose related [88].
Pitolisant is a medication that acts as an antagonist/inverse agonist on the hista­mine 3 receptors which results in increase of brain histamine levels that subsequently help maintain wakefulness. The more common adverse reactions include headaches, insomnia, nausea, and anxiety. Caution needs to be taken in patients at cardiac risk for prolonged QTc. As with modanil, pitolisant also increases the metabolism of ethinylestradiol and therefore will lessen oral contraceptive efcacy. Although pitolisant does not currently have an FDA-approved indication to treat cataplexy, studies have also shown improvement in this symptom in treated NT1 patients [89,
90]. Alternative forms of H3 receptor inverse agonists are in investigation.
Solriamfetol works by inhibiting reuptake of both dopamine and norepinephrine. It has a similar adverse reaction prole to other medications with headache being most common followed by nausea, decreased appetite, nasopharyngitis, dry mouth, and anxiety. With its relatively unique mechanism of action, efcacy, and side effect prole, it has been increasingly used as rst- or second-line therapy for the treat­ment of EDS [91]. It has an FDA-approved indication for the treatment of EDS in patients with narcolepsy.
Currently, sodium oxybate, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modanil, armodanil, solriamfetol, and pitolisant are the only medications FDA approved in
342
https://t.me/medicina_free
the United States for the treatment of EDS in narcolepsy. Alterations of gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain with GABA-A receptor agonists (e.g., clarithromycin and umazenil) have shown some efcacy in the treatment of EDS in narcolepsy patients [92]. Medications targeting the hypocretin receptors for the treatment of EDS are in development. One such medication currently undergo­ing clinical trials is TAK-994, which is a hypocretin-2 receptor selective agonist that has shown promise in preliminary studies. Other medications under investigation include a low sodium formulation of oxybate, and a new drug application (NDA) has been submitted for approval by the FDA.A long-acting, once-nightly formula­tion of sodium oxybate has been studied, and an NDA is about to be submitted. Reboxetine, a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is currently undergoing evaluation in narcolepsy. Other medications have been reported to have benecial results, but little data is available [93]. All medications are used “off-label” for the management of excessive sleepiness due to idiopathic hypersomnia.

Pharmacologic Management ofSymptoms Specic toNarcolepsy
Cataplexy
Although treatment of sleepiness can have a mild benecial effect on cataplexy, most wake-promoting agents/stimulants do not provide sufcient relief from cata­plexy. Pitolisant, as mentioned earlier, has been shown to improve both EDS and cataplexy symptoms in patients with narcolepsy. Most medications used for the treatment of cataplexy have REM sleep suppressant properties and/or increase aminergic (mainly by blocking the norepinephrine (NE) transporter) activity [94]. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and NE reuptake inhibitors have demonstrated benet in animal studies (which is believed to be a function of the NE reuptake inhibition). Sodium oxybate is highly efcacious for the treatment of cataplexy in narcolepsy and, as of the writing of this chapter, remains the only FDA-approved medication for its management.
Several small open-label studies and several decades of use have demonstrated that the TCAs desmethylimipramine, protriptyline, imipramine, and desipramine have benecial anticataplectic effects [95]; however, clomipramine remains the most widely used. Adverse events commonly associated with TCA therapy include nausea, anorexia, dry mouth, urinary retention, and tachycardia. Men may encoun­ter decreased libido, impotency, or delayed ejaculation. An unusual property of TCAs is the rebound cataplexy phenomenon that occurs upon abrupt discontinua­tion of TCA therapy. When severe, this is known as status cataplecticus and can be disabling for several days [96].
Similar to TCAs, the SSRIs including uvoxamine, zimeldine, femoxetine, par­oxetine, and uoxetine have all demonstrated anticataplectic activity; however, uoxetine appears to be the most commonly used of the SSRIs for the treatment of
15 Narcolepsy andIdiopathic Hypersomnia
https://t.me/medicina_free
cataplexy [97]. As a class, the SSRIs are generally less efcacious than TCAs; how­ever, they have a better safety prole and are better tolerated than the older antide­pressants. Reported adverse events include headache, nausea, weight gain, dry mouth, and delayed ejaculation [97]. Other antidepressant medications have also been found to have some anticataplectic activity; these include monoamine oxidase inhibitors such as phenelzine and selegiline as well as other atypical antidepressants with pronounced NE reuptake inhibition, such as venlafaxine and atomoxetine.
Given the evidence supporting an autoimmune etiology of narcolepsy, intrave­nous immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG) has been used for the treatment of narcolepsy. Unfortunately, the studies evaluating its use are limited, and the few case reports have yielded conicting results. Currently, it is not considered a valid treatment option [98].
343
Fragmented Nocturnal Sleep
As mentioned earlier, sodium oxybate taken at bedtime and again during the night increases slow wave sleep, decreases light sleep (stage N1 sleep), and decreases the number of arousals. REM sleep is initially increased, but then decreases after increasing dose and duration of therapy [87].
Other medications have also been tried in the management of the fragmented sleep of narcoleptics. A study evaluating 0.25mg of triazolam taken at bedtime showed improved sleep efciency and overall sleep quality, but had no benecial effect on daytime sleepiness [99]. Unlike the GABA-A receptor agonists mentioned earlier, baclofen is actually a GABA B receptor agonist that has shown some ef­cacy in the treatment of EDS as well as sleep fragmentation in adolescent narco­lepsy. Morse et al. described ve patients that failed treatment with traditional narcolepsy medications, but reported subjective improvement in sleep maintenance and daytime sleepiness. Accordingly, baclofen may be an effective treatment option in narcolepsy that warrants further study [100]. Other medications such as zolpi­dem, eszopiclone, or clonazepam have been used with varying success in some patients (personal experience and conversations with other sleep medicine physi­cians). For symptoms of sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations, TCAs, other REM suppressant medications, and sodium oxybate have been successful.
Conclusion
Narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia are primary central hypersomnias character­ized by either EDS or prolonged nocturnal sleep. Whereas cataplexy is pathogno­monic for narcolepsy, there is no pathognomonic symptom for idiopathic hypersomnia. Narcolepsy is believed to be due to a deciency in hypocretin- producing neurons in the lateral hypothalamus, possibly as a result of an autoimmune disorder. The
344

I. Ahmed and M. Thorpy
pathophysiology of idiopathic hypersomnia is currently unknown. The diagnosis is currently made by a combination of appropriate clinical symptoms, polysomnogra­phy followed by an MSLT and/or CSF hypocretin-1 testing. There are both nonphar­macologic and symptom directed pharmacologic treatments using medications targeting monoaminergic or GABA receptors. New formulations of oxybate and orexin receptor agonists are under investigation, as well as alternative NERIs and histaminergic medications. The effective pharmacologic management of narcolepsy is becoming a reality, although the treatment options are many and medication com­binations are usually required for optimal management of cataplexy and excessive sleepiness.
Summary of Keypoints
• Narcolepsy is a syndrome consisting of EDS, cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations. Additional features include automatic behaviors and fragmented or disrupted nighttime sleep.
• Classic narcolepsy symptoms are difcult to identify in children as sleepi­ness may manifest as inattentiveness, lack of energy, behavioral problems, or decreased performance.
• Cataplexy is the most specic symptom of narcolepsy consisting of an abrupt, bilateral loss of skeletal muscle tone, triggered by sudden emotion such as laughter. Cataplexy is seen in 60–90% of patients with narcolepsy.
• Poor nighttime sleep is also common in narcolepsy, due to a dysfunction of central sleep regulation which causes frequent transitions between sleep and wakefulness throughout the entire 24-hcycle.
• Most cases of NT1 are associated with reduced or absent csf hypocretin; cases of NT2 may be caused by a partial loss of hypocretin-containing hypothalamic neurons.
• Sleep disturbances, including excessive sleepiness, may occur following TBI.It is important to consider TBI among the causes of EDS.
• Appropriate sleep hygiene is critically important in patients with narco­lepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia. Short naps (15–20min) 2–3 times/day can help control sleepiness in narcolepsy and improve alertness. However, scheduled naps are not recommended in idiopathic hypersomnia.
• Alerting medications are the mainstay of management of daytime sleepi­ness in patients with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia, with most clinical studies reporting objective improvements in sleepiness in 65–85% of subjects. Cataplexy can be effectively treated with oxybate, H3 receptor inverse agonists, or NERIs.
• New formulations of current medications and orexin receptor agonists are currently under investigation and hold promise of greatly improving patient management.
