Metabolism Characteristics in the Children With Narcolepsy

Not Applicable
Conditions
Narcolepsy
Interventions
Other: Sleep and metabolism assessment
Registration Number
NCT02799849
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

A significant weight gain and obesity are observed for most patients with narcolepsy, mainly at the beginning of the disease and narcolepsy in young children. There is no specific study on the population and the consequences of overweight in the lives of these long-term patients. Narcoleptic patients gain weight significantly at the onset of their illness. It is also known that weight gain is not related to the treatment of narcolepsy. The etiology of obesity in narcoleptic patients is not established. Several assumptions were made (physical activity, leptin diet, metabolism). The reason and the pathophysiology of overweight and obesity in this population therefore remain unclear.

In this study, potential change in the total metabolism (24h) for narcoleptic children that could explain their tendency to obesity will be assessed ?

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determination of the metabolism at home15 days

Total energy expenditure in kilocalories per minute, including basal metabolic rate (MET) metabolism related to the activity (EEA), and physical activity (PA) measured by accelerometer (Actical) evaluated at home (15 days including scholar and non-scholar days).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
sleep duration18 days
Body mass index z score18 days
Body height18 days

Body height (cm)

Fasting PostPrandial18 days
Anthropometric measurements18 days

Measurement of BMI Z-score

Determination of the metabolism at hospital18 days

Basal energy expenditure18 days

The basal metabolism (MET) measured by accelerometer (Actical, BodyMedia SW Actiheart) will be compared to the values of energy expenditure (kcal) measured by indirect calorimetry fasting.

Energy expenditure and diet-induced thermogenesis18 days

Energy expenditure (kcal) measured by indirect calorimetry after lunch (with counting calories ingested).

Sympathetic activity18 days

Estimated from IBI (Interbeat Interval) measured by Actiheart.

Food intake18 days

Caloric intake evaluation (kcal per day) during hospitalization (food intake recording) and at home during three days ( two days during the week and one day during the week-end) evaluated by questionnary.
