An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. Your brain cells communicate through electrical impulses and are active all the time, even when you sleep. This activity appears as wavy lines on an EEG recording. The EEG is one of the main diagnostic tests for epilepsy. It can also play a role in diagnosing other brain disorders.
Do you often have headaches and dizziness? Do you have seizures or insomnia? A visit to a doctor with an EEG and other diagnostic procedures can help find the causes of these and many other symptoms. You can have an electroencephalography in Bila Tserkva and consult an experienced neurologist and related specialists at CSM Clinic, a full-cycle medical facility. This examination is safe and informative, so it can be performed in pregnant women, adults, and children of any age.
EEG is a noninvasive diagnostic method that records the bioelectric activity of the brain, a vital organ. The encephalogram provides comprehensive information about the state of brain cells and helps identify signs of epilepsy, inflammatory foci, vascular disorders, tumor processes, and the consequences of stroke, injury, or surgery.
An electroencephalogram can be used to detect pathologies or for differential diagnosis, which helps avoid errors when making a diagnosis. It is performed on its own or as part of a comprehensive examination. EEG is repeated periodically to monitor the course of chronic diseases. The results help doctors draw up treatment or rehabilitation plans and assess the effectiveness of therapy or surgery.
The following symptoms may be indications for an EEG:
The indications for EEG are very diverse, so this test can be ordered by doctors of various specialties. An electroencephalogram is often included in the examination plan for diseases such as:
There are practically no contraindications to EEG. In some cases it has to be postponed if there are injuries, inflammatory processes, or postoperative sutures on the surface of the head that make the procedure difficult or impossible. The inability of the patient to stay still can also prevent an EEG of the brain. It is better to reschedule the EEG for another day in case of alcohol intoxication, acute respiratory viral infection, elevated temperature, or an overexcited state in a child.
Electroencephalography does not require complicated preparation. A CSM Clinic doctor will explain the rules if an EEG of the brain is ordered. The specialist explains why the test is needed and how it is done. To make the monitoring of the brain's electrical activity accurate, it is worth following a few simple recommendations. The main rules for EEG preparation:
The electrical activity of brain cells is studied with an encephalograph, which consists of several electrode sensors resembling a swimming cap, a unit, and a monitor. The procedure is performed in a special room isolated from noise and light.
The following stages are needed to complete an EEG:
For a child's electroencephalography, parents should take several preparatory steps:
In general, the procedure takes a little over 20-30 minutes. It does not cause discomfort or pain. After the test, the patient can go home right away.
CSM Clinic in Bila Tserkva has created very favorable conditions for EEG. The encephalography is performed by experienced specialists who know how to approach children of any age. Modern equipment is used for the comfort of the patient and the accuracy of diagnostics.
The EEG is interpreted by a functional diagnostics doctor who has completed special training. It may take 5-7 days to receive the report. The description of an electroencephalography consists of three parts:
The experienced neurologists of CSM Clinic are able to diagnose complex diseases thanks to their extensive experience. They interpret the electroencephalography results, the neurological examination data, and the patient's history. At the first visit, the doctor performs tests to identify problems with speech, vision, sensation, reflexes, movement coordination, gait, and muscle tone. The test results together with the EEG help assess the patient's condition correctly. If a more precise and detailed diagnosis is needed, other types of examinations are ordered.
