Polysomnography

Dr. Nikhil Modi conducts polysomnography, an advanced sleep study, to diagnose and treat sleep disorders. This comprehensive evaluation helps identify sleep apnea, insomnia, and other sleep-related issues. Dr. Modi combines detailed analysis with personalised treatment plans, improving patients quality of life and overall health.

What is Polysomnography?
Polysomnography is an overnight sleep study that monitors brain activity, heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels, and limb movements. It is used to diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and periodic limb movement disorder.

Procedure
During the study, sensors are attached to the patient to record multiple physiological parameters. Dr. Modi interprets the data to detect sleep disturbances and identify the underlying cause. Based on the results, individualised treatment plans, including CPAP therapy or lifestyle modifications, are recommended.

Why it Happens / How to Manage
Sleep disorders can arise due to airway obstruction, neurological issues, obesity, or lifestyle factors. Diagnosis and timely intervention are essential to prevent complications like cardiovascular disease and daytime fatigue. Dr. Modi provides ongoing follow-up and guidance to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
