EEG Test
An EEG, or Electroencephalogram, is a non-invasive medical test used to monitor and record the electrical activity of the brain. This diagnostic tool is invaluable in evaluating brain function, identifying abnormalities, and diagnosing various neurological conditions, including epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain injuries. During an EEG, electrodes are placed on the scalp to detect electrical signals produced by brain cells. The resulting EEG wave patterns help neurologists assess brain health, identify seizure activity, and guide treatment decisions. EEGs play a critical role in understanding brain disorders, aiding in early diagnosis, and monitoring treatment progress, ultimately contributing to improved patient care and neurological research.
An EEG is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the brain to evaluate brain function and diagnose neurological conditions.
Electrodes are placed on the scalp, and they pick up electrical signals produced by brain cells, creating a record of brain wave patterns.
In most cases, there are no significant restrictions, and patients can resume their usual activities immediately after the test.
EEGs are typically recommended for individuals with symptoms or risk factors for neurological conditions. Your doctor will determine if you need an EEG based on your specific circumstances.
