What is Video-EEG ?

A video EEG (electroencephalograph) records what you are doing or experiencing on video tape while an EEG test records your brainwaves. It is completely painless and non invasive test and can be done on children and adults safely.

How Video-EEG is helpful ?

The purpose is to be able to see what is happening when you have a seizure or event and compare it with the EEG records at the same time. By doing this, doctors reading the EEG can tell if the seizure or event was related to the electrical activity in the brain. If so, we had call this an epilepsy seizure.

Video EEG is most helpful to determine if seizures with unusual features are actually epilepsy, to identify the type of seizures, and to pinpoint the region of the brain where seizures begin. Locating the region precisely is essential if epilepsy surgery is being considered.

Video EEG is also useful to differentiate various paroxysmal spell like pseudo seizures, parasomnias and other non-epileptic spells.

Facilities

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.

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