   Sep 6, 2024 · Sleep disorders that can be diagnosed with the aid of EEG include: Central sleep apnea: This condition is characterized by breathing pauses during sleep due to alterations in brain activity. Obstructive sleep apnea: This common sleep disorder is characterized by intermittent episodes of blocked airway flow during sleep.

   A routine EEG recording lasts for about 20 to 40 minutes. During the test, you'll be asked to rest quietly. You will usually be asked to open or close your eyes from time to time. In most cases, you'll also be asked to breathe in and out deeply (called hyperventilation) for a few minutes. A flashing light may also be used to see if this affects you...

   A sleep EEG is carried out while you're asleep. It may be used if a routine EEG does not give enough information, or to test for sleep disorders. In some cases, you may be asked to stay awake the night before the test to help ensure you can sleep while it's carried out. This is called a sleep-deprived EEG.

   An ambulatory EEG is where brain activity is recorded throughout the day and night over a period of one or more days. The electrodes will be attached to a small portable EEG recorder that can be clipped onto your clothing. You can continue with most of your normal daily activities while the recording is being taken, although you'll need to avoid ge...

   Video telemetry, also called video EEG, is a special type of EEG where you're filmed while an EEG recording is taken. This can help provide more information about your brain activity. The test is usually carried out over a few days while staying in a purpose-built hospital suite. The EEG signals are transmitted wirelessly to a computer. The video i...

   This EEG is not common, but it may be used to check if surgery is possible for some people with more complex epilepsy. It involves surgery to place electrodes directly on the brain to find out exactly where the seizures are coming from.

   A sleep EEG (electro-encephalogram) is the recording of electrical activity produced by the brain whilst you sleep. It will help your doctor in making a diagnosis. A sleep EEG is useful as it obtains different information to the routine EEG, as brainwave patterns change during sleep. The appointment takes approximately two hours and the results ...

   • Epilepsy. Epilepsy is a neurological seizure condition that occurs in one of several parts of the brain. The main symptom of epilepsy is recurrent seizures due to unusual electrical brain activity.
   • Sleep disorders. Sleep disorders include problems with the amount or quality of sleep a person has, often due to an underlying physical or emotional cause.
   • Traumatic brain injuries. Head injuries, or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), occur when a strong force to the head causes damage to the brain, resulting in temporary or permanent impairment of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions.
   • Brain infection or inflammation. Brain inflammation, or encephalitis, primarily occurs after a viral infection. Other causes may involve the immune system mistakenly attacking brain tissue.

   An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a test that records the electrical activity of the brain. The nerve cells in the brain produce tiny electrical signals and these signals (also called brain waves) can be recorded via electrodes (small disks) placed on the scalp. A sleep-deprived EEG is the recording of the brain activity following a period of no ...

   The purpose of sleep deprivation is to increase the likelihood that we see some abnormal electrical activity of the brain which may not have been captured in a routine EEG recording. Sleep deprivation may also lower the threshold for seizures. This may happen to anybody, even if you do not suffer from epilepsy.

   Can you sleep during an EEG test?

   • Throughout the test the clinical physiologist will give you simple instructions, such as opening and closing your eyes and it is likely that you will sleep during the EEG. This is usually performed during an EEG, as it can produce changes in brain wave activity that help in the diagnosis.

   What is an electroencephalogram (EEG)?

   • An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a noninvasive test that measures certain aspects of brain activity that reflect a person’s level of consciousness. It is used to diagnose epilepsy and certain types of brain damage and is part of a polysomnogram (comprehensive sleep study) that is used to diagnose sleep disorders.

   Why do doctors use an EEG?

   • Doctors may use an EEG to understand how various hormonal conditions affect the brain. An EEG is a test that records the electrical activity of the brain. Doctors use it alongside other examinations and tests to diagnose neurological conditions, degenerative diseases, head injuries, and other conditions that affect the brain.

   A digital video recording will be made during the EEG recording. This enables the doctor to compare your brainwaves with your movements and behaviour during the EEG. However, the test can be performed without the video if you prefer. We will ask for your permission to use the video at the beginning of the test. How do I prepare for the test?
