Electroencephalogram

EEG (Electroencephalogram)

At Passa Multi-Speciality Institute, we offer Electroencephalograms (EEGs), essential diagnostic tools for assessing brain function. This non-invasive test is crucial for identifying various neurological disorders.

What is an EEG?

An EEG is a procedure that records electrical activity in the brain using small, flat metal discs, known as electrodes, attached to the scalp. This test, with origins dating back to the early 1900s, provides vital information about brain function.

How EEG Works ?

EEGs detect electrical signals produced by brain cells. The procedure involves electrodes, an amplifier, and a computer to capture and display the brain’s electrical activity. Different brain wave patterns correspond to various states of brain activity.

Why an EEG is Performed ?

EEGs help diagnose conditions like epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain tumors. They are recommended for symptoms such as seizures, unexplained fainting, or memory issues. Both routine and emergency EEGs are available at our institute.

Preparation for an EEG :

Before undergoing an EEG, patients should follow specific instructions, such as avoiding caffeine and ensuring their hair is clean. We also provide special guidelines for children and the elderly to ensure a smooth and accurate testing process.

The EEG Procedure :

During an EEG, electrodes are placed on the scalp to record brain activity for about 30-60 minutes. The test is painless, although some may feel slight discomfort. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Understanding EEG Results

The results from an EEG show brain wave patterns that can indicate normal or abnormal activity. Our specialists carefully analyze these patterns to diagnose conditions and recommend appropriate follow-up actions.

Benefits and Risks of EEG

EEGs are invaluable for diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions. The procedure is safe, though minor discomfort from the electrodes may occur. We prioritize patient safety and comfort throughout the process.

Advanced EEG Techniques

At Passa Multi-Speciality Institute, we offer advanced EEG methods, including Quantitative EEG (qEEG), Ambulatory EEG, and Video EEG Monitoring. These techniques provide comprehensive diagnostic and monitoring capabilities.
