EEG video monitoring

Indications for EEG video monitoring

Conducting electroencephalography with an analysis of patient behavior is usually prescribed in the following cases:

• determining the nature of convulsive seizures (epileptic or non-epileptic);
• clarification of the form of epilepsy;
• finding the localization of the epileptic focus;
• monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment and analyzing its results.

By the way, despite the use of expensive equipment and the involvement of highly qualified specialists, the cost of the service is quite affordable and depends mainly on the duration of the procedure.

Indications for the event are most often the following situations:

• the need to separate non-epileptic seizures and signs of epilepsy;
• development of cognitive abnormalities (usually night video EEG monitoring for children)
• various paroxysmal states;
• pharmacoresistant epilepsy;
• determining the epileptic status of sleep (sleep monitoring is carried out);
• pre-surgical examination;
• recent convulsive seizures (usually night monitoring is prescribed).

There are almost no contraindications to EEG. These include an inadequate mental reaction of the patient to the study and some skin diseases.

Results of the procedure

Unlike conventional brain activity studies, this procedure lasts from one to four hours. During this time, the doctor examines the readings of the devices and video recording of the patient's condition and movements. Modern equipment and qualified data analysis can achieve the following results:

• determination of the functional state of the brain,
• registration of epileptic activity,
• identification of the zone of the onset of the attack and a description of its parameters.

It is very important to conduct electroencephalography in a timely manner to a child, especially with the slightest suspicion of brain disorders.–The earlier treatment is started, the better results can be achieved.

Make EEG video monitoring in Neuro-clinic

By ordering procedures such as Neuro-clinic Night Sleep Video Monitoring, you get the following benefits:

• The study is carried out under the constant supervision of specialists in a comfortable single room.
• Night EEG video monitoring is carried out in a darkened and soundproofed room, so that external influences do not interfere with the natural sleep of the patient and do not affect the results of research.
• Recording sensors are attached to the head with a special cap, in which even the child will not feel discomfort (we have hats for children of any age).
• Video EEG recording is deciphered by experienced doctors as soon as possible, after which a specialist consultation is immediately provided.
• Monitoring includes all standard load tests, which allows you to identify hidden abnormalities in the brain.
