Accepted Answer

If by changes you mean added, deleted, and updated entities, then this could work:

bool changesMade = (context.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntries(EntityState.Added).Count() +
                    context.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntries(EntityState.Deleted).Count() +
                    context.ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntries(EntityState.Modified).Count()
                    ) > 0;

Edit:

enhanced code

bool changesMade = context.
                   ObjectStateManager.
                   GetObjectStateEntries(EntityState.Added | 
                                         EntityState.Deleted | 
                                         EntityState.Modified
                                        ).Any();
