An electroencephalogram (EEG) is an investigation that is carried out to measure the electrical activity in the brain. Small metal discs known as electrodes are attached to the scalp to detect the activity. Brain cells or neurons are active even during sleep, and they communicate with the help of electrical impulses, which are picked up as wavy lives on an EEG recording.
An EEG helps to know about any changes in brain activity. This information helps to diagnose brain disorders like epilepsy and other seizure disorders. An EEG may also be done to diagnose or treat brain tumours, brain damage due to head trauma, encephalopathy, sleep disorders, inflammation of the brain, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or stroke. It is also used to verify brain death in a patient in a persistent coma. For patients in a medically induced coma, a continuous EEG may be used to determine the right level of anaesthesia.
Medical professionals trained in analysing EEGs interpret the recording and make a report. Then they send it to the doctor who ordered the EEG. After seeing the report, your doctor will discuss the results and their interpretation. If a disease or disorder is diagnosed, he will discuss the treatment plan with you. You can bring a friend or a family member along with you to the appointment to help you remember the instructions and advice given by the doctor.
