What is a AMBULATORY EEG - 24 HOURS?

A 24-hour Ambulatory EEG (Electroencephalogram) is a portable diagnostic test that continuously records the brain’s electrical activity while the patient carries out normal daily activities at home or in their usual environment. The extended monitoring period helps neurologists capture intermittent abnormalities that may not appear during a routine EEG, supporting the diagnosis of epilepsy, seizures, unexplained episodes, sleep-related disorders, and other neurological conditions.

How is an Ambulatory EEG different from a routine EEG?

A routine EEG typically records brain activity for 20–30 minutes, whereas an Ambulatory EEG monitors brain activity continuously for 24 hours, increasing the likelihood of capturing intermittent abnormalities.
