Sleep Disorders Center ​​​​​​​

The Sleep Disorders Center at Bangpakok 9 International Hospital is a comprehensive program dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. We have a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers, including pulmonologists, ENT specialists, neurologists, and psychologists, who work together to provide expert care for patients with sleep-related issues. 

Our Services include: 

• Ear, Nose, Throat, Mouth, and Palate Examination: Comprehensive evaluation of the upper airway to assess any structural or functional abnormalities that may contribute to sleep disorders. 

• Sleep Test by using Polysomnography: This test involves monitoring various physiological parameters during sleep, such as brain activity, pulse, breathing, and blood-oxygen levels. It helps diagnose sleep disorders like insomnia, bruxism (teeth grinding), and periodic limb movement disorders. 

• Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT): This test measures daytime sleepiness and assesses the ability to fall asleep during the day. It is commonly used to evaluate narcolepsy and other excessive sleepiness disorders. 

• Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT): This test measures the ability to stay awake and alert during the day. It is often used to assess daytime sleepiness and the effectiveness of treatment for sleep disorders. 

• Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and Laser Uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP): Surgical procedures performed to address specific anatomical issues in the throat, such as excessive tissue or obstruction, which can contribute to sleep apnea and snoring. 

• Radiofrequency Treatment: This non-surgical procedure uses controlled energy to shrink or tighten tissues in the throat, reducing airway obstruction and improving breathing during sleep. 

• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy (CPAP): This treatment involves using a device that delivers mild air pressure to keep the airways open during sleep. It is an effective treatment for sleep apnea.
