Statement of Need

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) has a far-reaching impact, affecting not just quality of life (QoL) but also work, school, and psychosocial functioning. EDS is highly comorbid and can exacerbate medical and psychiatric conditions, both of which require clinicians to be aware of effective therapies to reduce the severity and impact of persistent sleepiness.

The final installment of this 3-part journal club series hosted by CME Outfitters highlights the latest clinical evidence on novel therapies for EDS in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and narcolepsy and how to incorporate this evidence into optimal treatment planning to reduce the burden of EDS.
