Electroencephalography

Advanced Brain Activity Monitoring at Idika Neuro Clinic

At Idika Neuro Clinic, we provide comprehensive Electroencephalography (EEG) services to evaluate and monitor brain activity. EEG is a safe, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic test that records the electrical signals produced by the brain. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing various neurological conditions.

Our experienced specialists use modern EEG technology to ensure accurate results and clear interpretation, helping guide effective treatment plans.

What is an EEG?

Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electrical activity in the brain using small sensors (electrodes) placed on the scalp. The test captures brain wave patterns that help identify abnormalities associated with different neurological disorders.

EEG is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as:

Why You Might Need an EEG

Your doctor may recommend an EEG if you experience:

What to Expect During the Procedure

The procedure is painless and typically takes 30–60 minutes.
Small electrodes are gently attached to your scalp.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an EEG test used for?

An EEG (Electroencephalography) is used to measure electrical activity in the brain. It helps diagnose conditions such as epilepsy, seizures, sleep disorders, brain infections, head injuries, and other neurological abnormalities.

2. Is an EEG test painful?

No, an EEG is completely painless and non-invasive. The electrodes placed on your scalp only record brain activity—they do not send electricity into your body.

3. How long does an EEG take?

A routine EEG usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. In some cases, longer monitoring (such as video EEG or sleep EEG) may be recommended.

4. How should I prepare for an EEG?

Wash your hair the night before the test (do not use oil, conditioner, or hair spray).
Avoid caffeine for several hours before the test.
Continue taking medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Follow any specific instructions given by your neurologist.

5. Are there any risks associated with EEG?

EEG is very safe. In rare cases, flashing lights or deep breathing during the test may trigger a seizure in patients with epilepsy, but the procedure is performed under medical supervision.
