Sleep EEG

At Passa Multi-Specialty Institute, we offer comprehensive Sleep EEG (Sleep Electroencephalogram) testing to analyze brain activity during sleep. This procedure is instrumental in diagnosing various sleep-related conditions, such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning depend on this detailed evaluation.

What is a Sleep EEG?

A Sleep EEG is a diagnostic procedure that measures electrical activity in the brain while you sleep. Electrodes are placed on your scalp to record brain wave patterns, which are then analyzed to determine sleep stages and identify any potential abnormalities.

Importance of a Sleep EEG :

Precise Diagnosis :

Helps in accurately identifying sleep disorders through detailed brain activity data.

Tailored Treatment :

Provides insights necessary for creating customized treatment plans based on individual brain activity patterns.

Treatment Monitoring :

Assists in assessing the effectiveness of treatments and making necessary adjustments.

How the Sleep EEG is Conducted :

Preparation:

You will be instructed to avoid caffeine and certain medications before the test. We will provide detailed information to ensure you understand the process and are at ease.

Electrode Setup :

Small electrodes will be attached to your scalp using a gentle adhesive. These electrodes connect to a monitoring system that records your brain activity throughout the night.

Monitoring Sleep :

You will sleep in a comfortable, quiet room while the equipment captures data on your brain waves during different sleep phases.

Analysis :

Our specialists will review the data to detect any irregularities or patterns that may indicate sleep disorders.

Results and Follow-Up :

You will receive a detailed report of the findings, and a follow-up appointment will be arranged to discuss the results and formulate a treatment plan.

Preparing for Your Sleep EEG

Before the Test :

Avoid caffeine and stimulant medications for at least 24 hours prior to the procedure. Ensure you get a good night’s sleep before the test.

Comfort Items :

Wear comfortable clothing and bring any personal items that may help you relax and sleep, such as a favorite pillow or sleep mask.

After your Sleep EEG, our team will analyze the recorded data and provide a comprehensive report. We will schedule a follow-up meeting to review the results and discuss the next steps in your treatment plan.
