Abstract

Purpose of review: Despite advancements in basic circadian research, development of new diagnostic and treatment strategies for circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders (CRSWDs) has been slow. Here, we review the most recent innovations in human circadian assessment and emerging new therapies for CRSWDs.

Recent findings: Researchers have improved existing circadian assessment methods to overcome logistical barriers and developed novel circadian assessment methods. New treatments for CRSWDs involve pharmacological and behavioral treatments that modulate circadian phase, amplitude, and/or robustness of the central circadian clock.

Summary: Commercialization of these emerging tools will require overcoming barriers, such as additional testing to confirm the underlying pathology and mechanism of action of potential treatments. Clinicians and scientists are also called to survey adjacent fields and adopt existing diagnostic tools that may offer diagnostic clarity in CRSWDs. Lastly, we must continue to advocate for medical insurance coverage of current and future tools and technologies to improve patient care.

期刊介绍： Current Sleep Medicine Reports aims to review the most important, recently published articles in the field of sleep medicine. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care and prevention of sleep conditions. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas such as insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, circadian rhythm disorders, and parasomnias. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also occasionally provided.
