What does an Electroencephalogram (EEG) consist of?
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain injuries, and other neurological conditions. It is a safe, non-invasive test and does not cause pain.
The electroencephalogram is a tool that allows understanding of how the brain works and identifying potential problems.
How is the Electroencephalogram (EEG) performed in the Hospital IMED Elche?
- You will sit in a comfortable chair or lie down on a stretcher. It will be recommended that you arrive with clean hair and without products such as gel or spray, as this can affect the electrodes.
- The technician places small metal discs called electrodes on your scalp which, in turn, will be connected to a machine by means of cables. Do not worry, these electrodes will not hurt you; they simply pick up the electrical activity of your brain.
- During the test, you will not have to do anything other than be relaxed. The electrodes will collect the electrical signals produced by your brain and these will be recorded on a machine that shows them as wavy lines on a graph. You may be asked to open and close your eyes, to breathe deeply or to perform some other simple action. Sometimes, you may be shown flashing lights to see how your brain responds to visual stimuli.
The test can last between 20 minutes and 1 hour, depending on what the doctor is looking for. In some cases, if they want to study how your brain functions during sleep, the test may last longer.
Once the EEG is finished, the technician removes the electrodes and you can return to your daily routine without any problem. The EEG results will be analysed by a specialist, who will look for patterns or irregularities in the brain activity.
