Why it is done

A routine EEG records electrical activity in the brain through small scalp sensors for about 20 - 30 minutes. It is the first-line investigation for new-onset seizures, monitoring epilepsy treatment, and screening when a child shows unusual neurological symptoms.

(Preparation)

How to prepare your child

Do not withhold regular prescribed medicines unless specifically instructed.

Ensure proper sleep if it's a sleep-deprived EEG protocol.

Dress the child in comfortable, loose clothing.

Experience

Will it hurt?No, tests like EEG are completely non-invasive and painless. NCS/EMG involve minor skin sensations but are safe.

Can parents stay?Yes, one parent is always allowed inside the diagnostic room to comfort and soothe the child.

Does it need sedation?Sedation is used only when a child is highly uncooperative or during extended sleep recordings, under doctor guidance.

How results are used

Diagnostic results are interpreted in correlation with clinical history, developmental timeline, and symptoms. A diagnostic report by itself does not confirm a complete care plan.

Why specialist interpretation matters

Interpretation by a DM-trained Pediatric Neurologist ensures subtle anomalies are identified accurately, preventing misdiagnosis of non-epileptic mimics.
