Detailed explanation-1: -This is the most common test used to diagnose epilepsy. In this test, electrodes are attached to your scalp with a paste-like substance or cap. The electrodes record the electrical activity of your brain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ambulatory EEG and Continuous Bedside EEG In patients having frequent seizures on medication, ambulatory EEG can often helpfully clinch the diagnosis of the epilepsy type as either partial or generalized.
Detailed explanation-3: -An electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to check for unusual electrical activity in the brain that can happen in people with epilepsy. During the test, small sensors are attached to your scalp to pick up the electrical signals produced when brain cells send messages to each other.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main use of an EEG is to detect and investigate epilepsy, a condition that causes repeated seizures. An EEG will help your doctor identify the type of epilepsy you have, what may be triggering your seizures and how best to treat you.
