Receiving a Diagnosis and Treatment
When you come into our practice, we will get to know more about the symptoms you are experiencing regarding your sleep health. From there, we can determine which tests or procedures to run based on the symptoms you are experiencing. A sleep study is one of the best ways for us to detect most sleep disorders. You will stay overnight in our lab where electrodes will be connected to your head and body to monitor your vital signs and to help us detect sleep disturbances.
Once our neurologists have had a chance to evaluate your results, we will discuss your treatment options with you. Not all sleep disorders are treated the same way. While most will benefit from leading a healthier lifestyle and practicing good sleep hygiene, some sleep problems such as obstructive sleep apnea will require the use of a CPAP machine to keep airways open while you sleep. We will discuss any and all treatment options with you so that you can make the best and most informed decision regarding your health.
