'''Cataplexy''' is a sudden and transient episode of loss of muscle tone, often triggered by emotions. It is a rare disease (prevalence of fewer than 5 per 10,000 in the community), but affects roughly 70% of people who have [[narcolepsy]].
The term cataplexy originates from the Greek κατά (kata, meaning "downwards"), and πληξις (plēxis, meaning "striking" or "hitting" [from plessein meaning "to strike or hit"]).
