Abstract：Objective To compare the sleep parameters between the Pulsed Magnetic Therapy System (PMTS) and polysomnography (PSG), thus to investigate the application of PMTS to in patients with sleep disorders. Methods The whole night sleep parameters of 30 sleep-disordered patients (16 men and 14 women, mean age of 49.4±18.3 years) were recorded by both PMTS and PSG. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were measured using epoch-by-epoch comparison analysis. Results Significant strong correlations of total sleep time, sleep latency and sleep efficiency were found between PMTS and PSG. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of PMTS were 94.6±10.5％, 33.4±30.2％ and 77.9±14.4％, respectively. No significant difference in sensitivity, specificity or accuracy were founded among different sleep disorder types and all participants. Conclusion The PMTS has good sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. It is a valid tool to assess sleep quality of different people.
