Narcolepsy Questionnaire
We have also developed several less
commonly used paper and pencil neuropsychiatric instruments
which are applied when appropriate. One is the Neppe
narcolepsy screen which has not been well researched.
Narcolepsy is a rare condition itself (incidence possibly
1 in several thousand individuals). However, the questionnaire
is far more versatile probing sleep disturbance as
well as anomalistic experiences and these are common
in the CHIT patient. Unfortunately, the questionnaire
needs to be scored by paper and pencil at this stage
and there are no norms so that although highly relevant
history information is obtained at a clinical level,
a clinician needs to interpret the results.
