Restless Legs Syndrome
Therapy for RLS has made major advances in the quality of life for RLS patients
as well as in our understanding of the biology of this disorder. Dopamine medications
have been approved by the FDA to treat RLS and are very well tolerated and effective.
Therapy also involves diagnosing and treating iron deficiency since this can lead
to problems with dopamine production and usage in the central nervous system.
Insomnia
Therapy for insomnia begins after the causes for it are understood. Every individual
requires a tailored therapeutic approach that may include psychological, medical
and behavioral tools. At Fusion Sleep, we work with local psychiatrists and psychologists
to provide cognitive behavioral therapies, as well as with multiple pharmaceutical
companies to provide the latest in medical therapies. Of course, treatments for other
sleep disorders that result in insomnia are always available at our Center.
Narcolepsy
The most common way to treat narcolepsy is to use a medication.
Narcolepsy is a complex condition and requires precise diagnosis
and adjustments
to medication dosages to adequately control the symptoms.
In the past years, medications have received FDA approval specifically to treat
narcolepsy symptoms, and are considered by leading narcolepsy experts to be the
first-line treatments for the symptoms of narcolepsy.
Treatment for Circadian Rhythm Disorders
There are many strategies for treating specific CRDs and managing the symptoms.
Behavioral therapies, bright light therapy, and medical interventions all play a
part in treating CRDs. In addition, we provide a coordinated approach for treating
other sleep and wake disorders associated with CRDs in children, adolescents and
adults of all ages.
