Diagnostic value of nocturnal sleep-onset rapid eye movement sleep period for narcolepsy type 1 and 2 in a tertiary sleep centre
A nSOREMP can only be used as a diagnostic for NT1 and NT2 in the presence of other specific hallmarks, such as cataplexy in NT1. Beyond that, it has no diagnostic value in adults as it is also present in other, more prevalent sleep disorders, with the highest occurrence in ISS.
