Dobo video-EEG monitoring is carried out in order to identify:

1. nature of seizures – epileptic or non-epileptic? (what disease to treat, differential diagnosis of paroxysmal states).
2. type of seizures – generalised, focal, other specific features
3. form of epilepsy, epileptic syndrome, how to treat it properly, what drugs).
4. seizure localisation

Dobo EEG video monitoring can influence:

• the decision to start or not to start drug therapy;
• the choice of drug therapy (which drugs are indicated or contraindicated for a given type of seizure or epileptic syndrome);
• evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment (this involves repeated tests as prescribed by the doctor);
• Assessing the likelihood of seizure recurrence in a patient in remission;
• Identification of the epileptogenic focus and questioning the appropriateness of surgical treatment if medication is ineffective.
