Avail The Best EEG Test with Affordable Cost in Kolkata

An electroencephalogram or an EEG test is one that is used for the purpose of evaluation of electrical activity in the brain. It is through electrical impulses that brain cells connect with each other. To detect any potential problems associated with this activity, an EEG test can be used.

An EEG is basically used to track and record the wave patterns of the brain. Electrodes or small flat metal discs are attached to the scalp with wires. The electrodes are used to analyze the electrical impulses in the brain. These signals are then sent to a computer that records the results.

In an EEG recording, the electrical lines look like wavy lines with peaks and valleys. These lines allow doctors to quickly assess whether there are abnormal patterns or any irregularities that may be a sign of seizures or other brain disorders.

Reasons for Performing an EEG Test

An EEG test is normally used to detect problems in the electrical activity of the brain. These activities may be associated with certain brain disorders. The results of an EEG test are used to confirm or are further used to rule out various conditions. These conditions may include:

• Seizure disorders (such as epilepsy)
• Head injury
• Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)
• Brain tumor
• Encephalopathy (disease that causes brain dysfunction)
• Memory problems
• Sleep disorders
• Stroke
• Dementia

An EEG test may also be performed to determine the level of brain activity when a person is in coma. The test can also be used to monitor activity of the brain during a surgery.

Electroencephalogram (EEG), a painless test to measure brain activities.

Small metal discs, named electrodes are used that capture the abnormality in brain waves and help to detect several disorders like epilepsy and other kinds of seizures, along with brain injuries, stroke etc. It’s a completely safe and non-invasive test. Highly recommended by doctors to diagnose electrical patterns in the brains of the patients.

How to Prepare for an EEG Test

Before an EEG test, you should take the following steps:

• The night before the EEG test, try washing your hair and not putting any products like sprays or gels in your hair on the day of the test.
• Consult with your doctor and ask if you should stop taking any specific medications before the test. Also make a list of your medications and share it with your technician performing the EEG.
• Try to avoid eating or drinking anything containing caffeine for at least eight hours before you take your EEG test.
