The true prevalence of IH is uncertain. The <i>International Classification of Sleep Disorders</i> provides criteria for diagnosing IH; however, the definition has evolved. Managing IH involves using pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches, although the most effective strategies are still unclear. The objective of this scoping review was to identify the extent, range, and nature of the available evidence, identify research gaps, and discuss the implications for clinical practice and policy.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>To conduct this review, a comprehensive search was conducted across scientific databases, without any restrictions on the date or study type.
