Sleep Medicine Clinic at Clemenceau Medical Center Hospital is a Clinic that focuses on diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. These clinics are staffed by healthcare professionals who are trained in sleep medicine, including sleep physicians, respiratory therapists, and polysomnographic technologists.
At a Sleep medicine Clinic, patients typically undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of their sleep disorder. This evaluation may involve a physical examination, a review of medical history and sleep habits, and diagnostic tests such as a polysomnography or a multiple sleep latency test.
Based on the results of this evaluation, the healthcare providers at the sleep medicine clinic will develop a personalized treatment plan for the patient. This plan may include lifestyle modifications such as improving sleep hygiene, weight loss, or avoiding certain medications that can disrupt sleep.
Other treatment options may include medications, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, or other devices that help regulate breathing during sleep.
In addition to providing diagnosis and treatment, sleep medicine clinics often offer educational resources to help patients better understand their sleep disorder and how to manage it. They may also offer ongoing support and monitoring to ensure that patients are receiving effective treatment and achieving better quality sleep.
