Routine and Prolonged EEG Studies

Routine and Prolonged
EEG Studies

An EEG is an important step in diagnosing and treating people with seizures. A routine EEG is a pain-free test performed at Orlando Epilepsy Center over a 30 minute period. The EEG technician will apply electrodes onto the patient’s scalp in order to record brain activity for the duration of the test. This can help gather important information to diagnose epilepsy.

Regardless of the outcome of the routine EEG, it is often necessary to perform more testing. If the EEG is negative, it is possible that the important brain wave information was not visible during this time and a longer study is needed to capture that information. If the EEG is positive, it is important to do additional testing to understand exactly which type or types of seizures the patient is experiencing. This next step in additional testing is likely to be a long-term video EEG.
