Abstract

Objective: To develop a sleep electroencephalography (EEG) protocol at People’s Hospital 115 based on international recommendations,^4,5,7,8 and to evaluate its feasibility, effectiveness, and safety in clinical practice. Subjects and Methods: A prospective case series was conducted from March 2025 to July 2025 at the EEG Unit of the Department of General Neurology, People's Hospital 115, involving patients aged 18 years and older who had an indication for sleep EEG. Exclusion criteria included patients who declined to participate in the study, or those who were indicated for sleep EEG but refused to undergo the protocol, or intentionally discontinued it midway. Results: Among the six recorded cases, four patients underwent routine EEG prior to sleep EEG. In these patients, epileptiform abnormalities were detected in only 1 out of 4 cases (25%) during routine EEG, whereas sleep EEG revealed abnormalities in 3 out of 4 cases (75%). In the remaining two cases, sleep EEG was performed for the purpose of treatment monitoring. All patients successfully completed the protocol without any recorded adverse events. Conclusion: Our study has established and implemented a sleep EEG recording protocol at People’s Hospital 115, demonstrating its feasibility, effectiveness, and safety. Sleep EEG should be widely used in clinical practice to provide valuable information for the diagnosis and management of epilepsy
