Treatment in the narcoleptic syndrome: self assessment of the action of dexamphetamine and clomipramine

Abstract: Subjective evaluation of the effect of treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with dexamphetamine and of cataplexy with clomipramine was made in 124 subjects with the narcoleptic syndrome. Drug effects were evaluated by self-report of the propensity to EDS and cataplexy as determined by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and a rating scale of anticipation-associated loss of postural motor tone during long-term therapy. The effects of dexamphetamine alone (60 subjects), clomipramine alone (16 subjects) and c… Show more

“…Item analysis for the German version of the ESS revealed results that were very close to those reported for the original version (table 2) [5, 9]. In normal subjects, the scores for items 6 and 8 were very low and had a low variance (table 2) consistent with the low factor loading of these items in the English version of the ESS [5].…”

“…The significant decrease in ESS scores of 25 OSAS patients after initiation of treatment (fig. 3) demonstrates the potential of the ESS for monitoring treatment effects as reported previously for patients with OSAS [5]and narcolepsy [9]. Interestingly, in 2 of 3 patients with ESS scores of >11 at initial evaluation and absence of a decrease in the score during treatment, a likely explanation for the persistence of excessive daytime sleepiness was identified.…”

“…Scores range from 0 (low sleepiness) to 24 (high sleepiness), with scores of ≥10 indicative of excessive daytime sleepiness (Banerjee, 2007). General population normative scores for the ESS were derived from a small sample of non-sleep disordered individuals (n = 30, M = 5.9, SD= 2.2; Johns 1991), although similar values have been reported in other studies using larger general population samples (n =72, M = 4.6, SD = 2.8, Johns and Hocking, 1998; n = 188, M = 4.5, SD = 2.2, Chen, Clift, Dahlitz, Dunn & Parkes, 1995). The scale has demonstrated good internal consistency (α ≥ .73) and retest reliability (r = 0.81), and is highly correlated with partner/observer ratings (r s = .74).…”

“…11,12 Sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations are other symptoms for which TCAs are recommended. 13,14 TCA side effects account for their diminishing popularity as medications with fewer adverse events became available. TCAs act as antagonists at the histaminic, muscarinic, and a 1 adrenergic receptors producing sedation, anticholinergic effects (eg, dry mouth, constipation, sweating, tachycardia), and orthostatic hypotension.…”
