Advanced Testing for Brain Activity and Seizure Disorders
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive test that records electrical activity in the brain to help diagnose and monitor neurological conditions. This painless procedure involves placing small electrodes on the scalp to detect abnormal brain wave patterns associated with seizures, epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions. EEG is an essential tool in evaluating unexplained spells, fainting episodes, and changes in mental status that may be linked to abnormal brain activity. It is commonly used to assess seizure disorders, measure brain function after a head injury, and aid in diagnosing conditions such as encephalopathy or neurodegenerative diseases. Depending on the symptoms, patients may undergo routine EEGs or prolonged monitoring, including ambulatory or video EEG studies, to capture irregular brain activity over an extended period. By analyzing brain wave patterns, neurologists can determine the appropriate treatment plan and provide targeted management for improved neurological health.
