Demand for Sleep Testing Services High in Japan Due to Surge in Cases of Sleep Disorders
In
the field of sleep testing, polysomnography (PMS) is a diagnostic tool used to
diagnose sleep disorders. The prevalence of sleep disorders is high in Japan. The
prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in adults with Down syndrome in Scotland
and Japan was estimated to be 19.6% in Scotland and 14.3% in Japan, according
to the study, ‘Cross-Sectional Comparison of the Prevalence of Obstructive
Sleep Apnea Symptoms in Adults With Down Syndrome in Scotland and Japan’
published in 2020.
A
sleep study is performed by polysomnographers and includes a number of tests
that are conducted in a laboratory. These tests are designed to provide
objective measurements of breathing patterns during the night. Some of the most
common sleep apnea-related tests include the Polysomnogram or PSG, OSA Eye
palpitation, Automated Polysomnogram (APG), and the overnight polysomnogram
(OPG). Each one of these tests requires several nights of keeping awake in a
dark room.
In
sleep
testing services, polysomnography determines the presence of sleep
apnea and other sleep disorders. This sleep test measures brain activity to
determine the amount of time the person can fall asleep and wake up. A sleep study
specialist may also measure the brain activity of the person while he or she is
sleeping to detect nodules and to look for signs of an obstructive sleep apnea
syndrome. Polysomnography can be used to determine the cause of sleep apnea or
to establish the most appropriate treatment.
Sleep
studies that use in-lab techniques and other sleep testing services include polysomnography
study and rapid eye movement sleep study. Sleep testing for various sleep
disorders is performed by obtaining the brain wave data from the monitor. Sleep
testing can be performed in a variety of modes. It can either be done manually
or by using a video-camera operated by the sleep study therapist. Sleep studies
are extremely important and can determine the occurrence and severity of sleep
apnea, snoring, insomnia, sleep apnea, abnormal hormone levels and the like. So
if you have any doubt about your sleep disorder or about your sleeping
patterns, you can contact your local sleep testing services and have them
conduct polysomnography, neurotherapy and/or video-cardiology tests to find out
more about your sleeping habits and about your health.
