Electro Encephalo Gram (EEG)

What is EEG ?

Electroencephalography (EEG) is electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time, as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp. Electrodes are small metal disc attached to scalp with wires. Wires are attached with recording instruments. Electrical activity of brain recorded as wavy lines over periods of 30-40 minutes which help Neurologist for analysis.

How EEG is useful ?

EEG is mainly used for diagnosis of various seizure disorders. It is also used to diagnose sleep disorders, coma, encephalopathies , encephalitis and brain death. It is also used to differentiate Seizure from Pseudo-Seizure. EEG is also useful in ICU to rule out life threatening condition like status epilepticus.

Is there any risk associated with EEG ?

It is painless and safe procedure and not associated with any future risk.

How to prepare for the EEG ?

Wash your hair the night before. Do not put any oil, gel or hairspray on the hair. If the hair is long, do not braid or put it up. No hair extensions.
To get the maximum information from this test we try to record EEG during wakefulness and sleep.
Continue to take any medications prescribed by your doctor (we will ask you to list your medications prior to your EEG)
If a sleep-deprived or sleep EEG is to be obtained, the patient might be asked not to sleep for some hours or for all of the night before the test.

Video EEG

A video EEG (electroencephalograph) records what you are doing or experiencing on video tape while an EEG test records your brainwaves.

Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

A Nerve conduction study is an electrical test that is used to determine the adequacy of the conduction of the nerve impulse as it courses down a nerve. This test is used to detect signs of nerve injury.

Electromyography (EMG)

Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle. The test is used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities.

Repetitive Nerve Stimulation Test (RNST)

RNS is an electrodiagnostic test which is used to assess the neuromuscular junction (NMJ).

Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP)

A visual evoked potential is an evoked potential caused by a visual stimulus, such as an alternating checkerboard pattern on a computer screen. Responses are recorded from electrodes that are placed on the back of your head and are observed as a reading on an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER)

A brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) test measures how your brain processes the sounds you hear. The BAER test records your brainwaves in response to clicks or other audio tones that are played for you. The test is also called a brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) or auditory brainstem response (ABR) test.

Botulinum Toxin Therapy

Botulinum toxin injection therapy (BOTOX therapy) is used to treat dystonia - neuromuscular disorder that produces involuntary muscle contractions, or spasm - that affects muscles that control movement in the eyes, neck, face, limbs, voice box, or the smooth muscle in the bladder. The goal of the therapy is to reduce muscle spasm and pain.
