Ongoing research aims to better understand the underlying mechanisms of narcolepsy and develop more effective treatments. Key areas of research include:
Genetics: Studying the genetic factors that contribute to narcolepsy. Neuroimaging: Using advanced imaging techniques to explore brain changes associated with narcolepsy. Immunology: Investigating the role of the immune system in the development of narcolepsy. Pharmacology: Developing new medications and therapies to manage symptoms more effectively.
