Sleep study: Sleep studies are done for diagnostic purposes. So, if you have a positive sleep study if would be the objective evidence to warrant treatment for apnea, typically obstructive, which typically is some type of CPAP device. If symptoms not improving sleep sudies can be done to determine efficacy or compliance.
