Sleep Studies
 We
have created a state-of-the-art sleep studies facility for
overnight Polysomnography (PSG) studies at The Pretoria
Sleep Centre. Our in-house technologists observe
and analyse these studies that provides information on Brain
Activity, Respiratory Function, Muscle Function and a variety
of other variables that are essential for the diagnosis
of the more complex sleep disorders.
PSG is particularly useful for the diagnosis of Obstructive
Sleep Apnoea, Narcolepsy, Parasomnias, Restless Legs Syndrome
and Neurological Disorders such
as Epilepsy and Parkinson’s
Disease.
