The EEG test records brain wave patterns.Which are shown in a wave format, allowing clinicians
to discover abnormal neural processes that could indicate seizures, epilepsy, or other brain
illnesses. This test is also commonly recommended as the first step in diagnosing Alzheimer'
s disease, narcolepsy (chronic sleep disorder), and a variety of psychoses.It is a painless
and non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to assess the electrical activity of the brain.
Electrical impulses control all voluntary and involuntary movements in the brain, and they are the key
to a well-functioning body. This examination looks at the electrical activity in the brain to see if
there are any issues.
EEGs are very safe. If you have a medical issue, discuss it with your doctor before the test. There's a
chance that the EEG's flashing lights and deep breathing will trigger a seizure if you have a seizure
disorder. This is unusual. If this occurs, a medical staff will be on standby to treat you right away.
In some situations, a doctor will induce a seizure during the exam in order to obtain a reading.
Medical personnel will be on standby to keep an eye on the situation.
