What is a VIDEO EEG 12 HOURS?

A 12-hour Video EEG (Electroencephalogram) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that continuously records the brain's electrical activity alongside synchronized video footage for 12 hours. By correlating brainwave patterns with physical symptoms, movements, or episodes, it helps neurologists diagnose epilepsy, identify seizure types, and evaluate other neurological conditions with greater accuracy.

FAQs

What is a 12-hour Video EEG?

A 12-hour Video EEG is a non-invasive diagnostic test that continuously records the brain's electrical activity and synchronized video footage for 12 hours. It helps neurologists evaluate seizures, epilepsy, sleep-related disorders, and other neurological conditions.

Why is a 12-hour Video EEG performed?

The test is used to diagnose epilepsy, classify seizure types, investigate unexplained episodes of altered consciousness or abnormal movements, and detect abnormal brain activity that may not appear during a routine EEG.

How is a 12-hour Video EEG different from a routine EEG?

A routine EEG typically lasts 20–30 minutes, while a 12-hour Video EEG provides extended monitoring, increasing the chances of capturing intermittent abnormalities or clinical events.

How should I prepare for the test?

Wash your hair before the appointment and avoid using oils, conditioners, gels, or hair products. Follow any instructions regarding medications or sleep deprivation provided by your doctor.

Is the test painful?

No. The test is completely non-invasive and painless. Electrodes are placed on the scalp to record brain activity.

Can I take my regular medications before the test?

Yes, unless your doctor specifically advises otherwise. Do not stop any prescribed medication without medical guidance.
