An EEG (Electroencephalogram) test is a diagnostic procedure used to measure the electrical activity in the brain. It is a non-invasive and painless test that helps neurologists evaluate and diagnose various neurological conditions.
The primary purpose of an EEG is to detect abnormalities in the brain’s electrical activity. It can help diagnose conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain tumors, brain injuries, encephalopathy, and certain cognitive disorders. EEG is also used to assess brain function during coma, monitor brain activity during brain surgery, and evaluate the effects of medication or treatments on brain activity.
The recorded EEG patterns are interpreted by a neurologist who specializes in reading and analyzing the results. The findings from an EEG test can provide valuable information for diagnosing and guiding the treatment of neurological conditions.
