Dr. Li Qi
Narcolepsy is generally incurable, as it is a chronic sleep disorder of unknown etiology. However, its symptoms can be improved through pharmacological treatment, traditional Chinese medicine, and psychological therapy. Patients with narcolepsy should maintain regular sleep–wake schedules and avoid consuming substances containing high levels of caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol.
