WELCOME:
The
Sleep and Attention Disorders Institutes specialize in Sleep
Medicine and in Clinical Neurophysiology. We evaluate and treat
sleep disorders including snoring and sleep apnea, narcolepsy,
daytime sleepiness, insomnia, and parasomnia. We also evaluate
and treat brain disorder (encephalopathy) with attention deficit
(commonly known as ADHD) using brain mapping of cognitive evoked
potentials.
Clinical Neurophysiology Services is a Professional Corporation. It runs the Sleep Disorders Institute, accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. It also runs the Attention Disorders Institute.
R. Bart Sangal, M.D., Director, is Board Certified in Sleep Medicine and in Clinical Neurophysiology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
We believe you are our guest when you come to our office. We promise to treat you with courtesy and respect. We take pride in usually running within 15 minutes of your appointment time. However, if a patient arrives late or has unusual problems, we do get behind. Patients are seen in order of their appointment time, not the time they arrive. If you arrive early, you may have to wait till your appointment time. If you arrive late, you may have to wait till an opening in the schedule, or we may not be available to see you at all. This may happen especially if you are one of the last scheduled patients for the session.
We see ourselves as your junior partner in health. We explain your condition to you in terms you can understand, and discuss the pros and cons of various management options. You then decide about treatment with our aid.
Our primary task is evaluation, diagnosis, and recommending management. All testing is performed exclusively at our testing facilities in the Troy office. After we reach a diagnosis, we can begin and continue treatment, we can begin treatment with your personal physician continuing it, or your personal physician can begin and continue treatment with the help of our findings.
What
is Clinical Neurophysiology?
Clinical
Neurophysiology is a young specialty that uses the electrical activity of the
brain and nerves to help in diagnoses. It started out in the 1930's, when a
psychiatrist named Berger discovered the Electroencephalogram (EEG); since then
it has expanded rapidly. Central Neurophysiology is the body of methods used in
diagnosis of disorders involving the brain, and includes Sleep Medicine, EEG,
and Evoked Potentials.
Dr. Sangal specializes in those aspects of Central Neurophysiology that involve higher brain functions. These include Snoring with Sleep Apnea, Attention Deficit, Daytime Sleepiness, and Insomnia.
Neurophysiological techniques are useful in the diagnosis of these disorders. Specific techniques include polysomnography, multiple sleep latency testing, and brain mapping of cognitive task-relevant long latency evoked potentials. Medical treatment has success rates that are better than 90% for many disorders of sleep and attention.
