What this trial studies

The study compares social cognition in adults with narcolepsy (types 1 and 2) or idiopathic hypersomnia to understand how these conditions may affect social understanding and interactions. Participants complete a questionnaire to assess social cognitive skills. The study aims to provide insight into whether narcolepsy and hypersomnia influence social functioning beyond daytime sleepiness. It is conducted at CHU Amiens-Picardie with no active comparator and relies on self-reported measures. The findings could inform supportive strategies to improve social participation for affected individuals.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, results may guide social-support resources and patient counseling to improve social functioning.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research has explored cognition and mood in narcolepsy, but focused studies on social cognition with control groups are limited and mixed in findings.
