Medical treatment starts with education about sleep stages and the inability to move muscles during REM sleep. People should be evaluated for narcolepsy if symptoms persist. The safest treatment for<unk>  is for people to adopt healthier sleeping habits. However, in more serious cases tricyclic antidepressants or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be used. Despite the fact that these treatments are prescribed there is currently no drug that has been found to completely interrupt episodes of<unk>  a majority of the time. Medications Though no large trials have taken place which focus on the treatment of<unk> , several drugs have promise in case studies. Two trials of GHB for people with narcolepsy demonstrated reductions in<unk>  episodes. Pimavanserin has been proposed as a possible candidate for future studies in treating<unk> . Cognitive-behavior therapy Some of the earliest work in treating<unk>  was done using a cognitive-behavior therapy called CA-CBT. The work focuses on psycho-education and modifying catastrophic cognitions about the<unk>  attack. This approach has previously been used to treat<unk>  in Egypt, although clinical trials are lacking. The first published psychosocial treatment for recurrent isolated<unk>  was cognitive-behavior therapy for isolated<unk>  (CBT-ISP). It begins with self-monitoring of symptoms, cognitive restructuring of maladaptive thoughts relevant to ISP (e.g., "the<unk>  will be permanent"), and psychoeducation about the nature of<unk> . Prevention techniques include ISP-specific sleep hygiene and the preparatory use of various relaxation techniques (e.g. diaphragmatic breathing, mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation). Episode disruption techniques are first practiced in session and then applied during actual attacks. No controlled trial of CBT-ISP has yet been conducted to prove its effectiveness.
