An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a safe, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of your brain. At Aayu Hospital, Dr. Vinusha Alamaddi uses EEG to assess and diagnose a wide range of neurological conditions with accuracy and care.
EEG is particularly useful in identifying seizure disorders, including different types of epilepsy. During the test, small electrodes are placed on the scalp to detect and record brain wave patterns. Any irregularities in these patterns can indicate abnormal electrical activity, helping to pinpoint the type and source of seizures or other neurological dysfunctions.
Apart from epilepsy, EEG is also valuable in evaluating unexplained fainting, confusional states, head injuries, sleep disorders, encephalopathy, and in monitoring brain function in critical care situations. It is sometimes used as a supporting test for conditions like brain infections, dementia, and stroke-related complications.
