Narcolepsy treatment: from exorcism and bloodletting to modern therapy with histamine receptor inverse agonists by E. Sakalauskaitė-Juodeikienė, R. Masaitienė

“… In this review article, we present the treatment of narcolepsy since ancient times when patients experiencing the phenomenon of incubus (today understood as sleep paralysis with hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations) were “cured” during the sessions of exorcism. At the beginning of the 19th century, in Vilnius clinics, the incubus disease was treated by providing lifestyle, diet, and sleep hygiene recommendations, also using antiphlogistic methods, as well as antispasmodic medicine and quinine bark. …”
