EEG for adults

In adults, EEG helps to answer the same questions as in children:

exclude or confirm the diagnosis of epilepsy
assess the effectiveness of epilepsy treatment with special drugs
clarify the diagnosis in case of frequent headaches
confirm and clarify the cause of sleep disturbances, headaches, fainting spells
learn about the physiological state of the cognitive sphere (memory, thinking, attention)
diagnose the presence of anxiety, panic attacks, neuroses, depression.

What do I need to know, how to prepare for the procedure?

The EEG procedure is completely safe and painless.

To perform the procedure, a rubber cap with electrode contacts is placed on the patient’s head; beforehand, the specialist applies a special gel to the electrode contacts.

The procedure of routine (ordinary) EEG takes 15 minutes.

No special preparation is required, it is recommended to wash the head before the study for better contact of electrodes.
