Current Clinical Trials

Currently we are conducting the following Clinical Trial(s):

1. Narcolepsy Clinical Trial: Patients ages 18-50, with Narcolepsy. This study is looking at the effect of a new medicine on sleepiness in patients with Narcolepsy who have access to their previous test results confirming Narcolepsy. The study lasts about 5 weeks, with three sleep testing stays (overnight and the next day) with us. Patients may get active medicine or placebo. We pay $930 for the subject’s time and expenses upon completing the study.

Clinical trials come and go, and they fill up fast.

What Our Patients Say

I enjoy comeing in to see the Dr. because of all the great people he has working for him. You all are so good that I fell like I am at home when I come in.

Joesph O'Bryan

I have used CPAP every night for more than 15 years. Dr. Sangal has worked with me over time and I believe CPAP treatment has made my life, in general, easier; reducing fatigue which had built up over the years in my profession. I am today more relaxed and better able to handle the problems and anxieties of life, and am better able to enjoy my family and relate better to friends and associates. I am 77 years old.

I’m so glad I came to see Dr. Sangal for help with my sleep apnea. With the treatment I am sleeping so much better now and feel great throughtout the day.

I can’t rave enough about Dr. Sangal and his staff. The way this doctor thoroughly assesses and treats, and monitors patients with sleep disorders and ADHD is unbelievable. I’ve learned so much in being his patient and have watched both my daughter’s and my own sleep/ADHD conditions improve immensely. I would highly recommend this doctor and his wonderful staff.

What an amazing sleep facility. I was very impressed with the hotel-type accomodations in my room. Because I also deal with asthma, my breathing was difficulty for a while before sleeping. Both the Sleep Techs were very attentive and made certain I was comfortable. Outstanding experience!
