What this trial studies
This observational study aims to identify psychological, sociological, and professional factors that influence the results of the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) in patients with narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea. By assessing these factors, the study seeks to enhance understanding of the determinants of excessive daytime sleepiness and the relationship between subjective and objective alertness impairments. Participants will complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to evaluate their anxiety levels, which may correlate with MWT outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been referred for a Maintenance of Wakefulness Test at Lyon University Hospital.
Not a fit: Patients who are unable to consent or answer the questionnaire due to cognitive impairments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management strategies for patients suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness associated with sleep disorders.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of this study may be novel, similar studies have explored the relationship between psychological factors and sleep disorders, indicating potential for meaningful insights.
