Conclusions: Clinical and neurophysiological data from this first study of the Russian Narcolepsy Network suggest a similar profile to the recently reported EU-NN data. The more severe and higher percentage of patients with cataplexy and presenting with both excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy may reflect low awareness of narcolepsy in Russia.
