Narcolepsy Treatment

What is Narcolepsy?

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. It can cause excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden muscle weakness (cataplexy), sleep paralysis, and disrupted nighttime sleep. While there is no cure, proper treatment can help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. With the right care, most individuals with narcolepsy can lead active and fulfilling lives.

At PCCSS, we understand how narcolepsy can impact every aspect of your life. Uncontrollable sleep episodes and extreme fatigue can make daily activities challenging. Our mission is to help you regain control so you can stay alert, engaged, and live life to the fullest.

We work with you to identify triggers and implement strategies to reduce excessive sleepiness, manage cataplexy, and improve overall sleep quality.

Long-Term Monitoring and Support

Narcolepsy management is an ongoing process. Regular check-ups and adjustments to your treatment plan ensure you stay in control of your symptoms and maintain a fulfilling lifestyle.
