Catching Zzzs: The Role of Dual Orexin Receptor Antagonists for Insomnia / 2222

Overview / Abstract:	Target Audience This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists practicing in primary care, neurology, and psychiatry. Program Overview Insomnia is responsible for a wide range of short-term and long-term impairments and negative health outcomes. Differences in mechanisms among insomnia therapies have important implications for their use in specific patients and among specific patient populations. Dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) are a relatively new option for the treatment of insomnia. In this 30-minute educational podcast, expert Phyllis Zee, MD, offers valuable insights into the disease burdens that affect patients with insomnia, mechanism of action of DORAs in contrast to other insomnia agents, clinical trial data for DORAs in the setting of insomnia, and patient scenarios where DORAs may be considered. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: DESCRIBE the disease burdens that affect patients with insomnia DIFFERENTIATE the mechanism of action of DORAs in contrast to the mechanisms of other insomnia agents EVALUATE clinical trial data for DORAs approved for insomnia IDENTIFY evidence-based guidance to determine patient scenarios where DORAs may be considered for insomnia Agenda (30-Minute Podcast) Prevalence and Disease Burdens of Insomnia Available Insomnia Therapies: Mechanisms of Action of DORAs, BZDs, and BzRAs DORAs: Evidence-Based Use in Clinical Practice Key Takeaway Messages/Conclusion
