Low Sodium Oxybate in Patients With Idiopathic Hypersomnia

Phase 4
Recruiting
Conditions
Idiopathic Hypersomnia
Interventions
Drug: Low Sodium Oxybate
Diagnostic Test: 24-hour polysomnography
Device: Nextsense EEG earbuds
Device: Axivity device
Registration Number
NCT05837091
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

Low sodium oxybate has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia. In this study, the researchers want to learn how low sodium oxybate impacts ability of people diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia to sleep for long periods of time. In addition, this study will use novel tools to determine when an individual is awake or asleep.
