Sleep Medicine Services at Clarksburg VA Health Care

The Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center covers all sleep related services at the Clarksburg VA, from the start of your sleep disorder recovery to ongoing monitoring to keeping your treatment current and effective. 

The start of this recovery is participating in a sleep study.  Sleep studies are offered at home or onsite in the sleep lab.  Clarksburg VA’s in-lab sleep study is state of the art and is supervised by board certified sleep experts.  The sleep lab offers four private rooms with queen size beds for the best results possible.  These four labs operate six nights a week which provides a minimal wait for your sleep study.  For even faster results, a home solution is offered, taking sleep monitoring equipment to your own bedroom. 

The sleep study is only the beginning of relief.  The primary treatment is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which is a tried and tested solution for sleep disorders.  Additionally, Bongo and Inspire are available to offer maximum flexibility in treatment options.  Bongo like CPAP is a non-invasive solution, whereas, Inspire is an invasive option when CPAP is not the answer.  With multiple options available, the Clarksburg VA can handle non-severe to more complex sleep disorder cases.  If you have a more complex case, the sleep team has additional diagnostic and treatment options.  

For options closer to home, some treatment and monitoring alternatives are available through the four Community Based Outpatient Clinics located in Braxton, Monongalia, Tucker, and Wood counties.  The in-lab sleep study can only be offered at the Louis A Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg. 

To help with your sleep monitoring, a secure online database that can be downloaded on your smart phone will connect you with the sleep team.  This application allows you and your sleep team to fine tune treatments as needed.
