Polysomnography is a diagnostic test used to diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and insomnia. It involves monitoring and recording various physiological parameters during sleep, including brain waves, eye movements, muscle activity, heart rate, and breathing.
Polysomnography services are typically offered by sleep clinics or sleep centers, and they are performed by a trained technician. During the test, the patient is asked to sleep in a specialized room with monitoring equipment (Polysomnography machine) attached to the body. The machine will monitor the patient’s sleep patterns throughout the night, and record any abnormalities or disruptions as they sleep.
The results of the polysomnography test can provide valuable information about the patient’s sleep patterns and the underlying causes of their sleep disorders. This information can be used to develop a treatment plan to improve the patient’s sleep quality and overall health.
