His MSLT showed a mean MSLT sleep latency of 2.6 min, fewer than 8 min, and the presence of 4 REM sleep-onset periods while napping (Figure 1).
Temporal course of cerebral autoregulation in case 1. (A) The autoregulatory parameter (phase difference) derived from the transfer function in case 1. (B) The line chart shows that after 1 month of venlafaxine administration, cerebral autoregulation improved to normal. However, after the patient discontinued the drug, cerebral autoregulation deteriorated. Cerebral autoregulation improved to normal again after 1 month of venlafaxine administration.

After 1 month, his clinical symptoms were relieved, his Epworth sleep scale was 9, and his cerebral autoregulation again improved and became normal (phase difference, 58 degrees in the left and 53 degrees in the right, Figure 2).

Temporal course of cerebral autoregulation in case 2. (A) The autoregulatory parameter (phase difference) derived from the transfer function in case 2. (B) The line chart shows that after fluoxetine administration, cerebral autoregulation had a tendency to rise. After 1 month of venlafaxine administration, cerebral autoregulation improved more definitively.

His cerebral autoregulation improved clearly (74 degrees in the left and 68 degrees in the right, Figure 3).
