Abstract
The CETQ was designed by Moore and colleagues [1] to be a very brief measure of cataplexy. The 55-item scale was inspired by the observation that self-reported muscle weakness during laughter, anger, and joking is the best method for identifying individuals with cataplexy [2]. Respondents are asked a single screening question regarding muscle weakness during laughter. If such a symptom is present, several follow-up questions are posed regarding physical symptoms (slurring of speech, trouble hearing, and location of symptoms).
