Comparing Treatment Effect Measurements in Narcolepsy: The Sustained Attention to Response Task, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Maintenance of Wakefulness Test

The Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) demonstrated high performance in distinguishing treatment responders in patients with narcolepsy, with a correlation of r = 0.61.

• The SART, Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) all showed good reliability.
• The ability to distinguish between responders and nonresponders was high for the SART and ESS, with correlational values of r = 0.61 and r = 0.54, respectively.
• The SART is identified as a valid and easy-to-administer measure for assessing treatment effects in narcolepsy.
• Combining the SART with the ESS may enhance the assessment of treatment efficacy.
