Introduction

Sleep medicine integrates clinical observation, physiological measurement, diagnostic technologies, and therapeutic evaluation to investigate disorders affecting sleep and breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper-airway obstruction during sleep and can be studied through clinical assessment and objective sleep-related measurements. Research involving polysomnography, electroencephalography, respiratory parameters, and related physiological indicators can therefore contribute to a more detailed understanding of patient characteristics and treatment considerations.[1] [2] [3] [4]
