Epilepsy monitoring

Epilepsy monitoring involves using specialized tests to observe and record brain activity to diagnose and manage seizures. This typically includes continuous EEG (electroencephalogram) recordings that detect electrical signals in the brain. Sometimes, additional tools like video recordings or wearable devices are used to correlate physical seizure activity with brain activity. This process helps doctors determine the type, location, and frequency of seizures, guiding tailored treatment plans. Monitoring can take place in a hospital setting or outpatient clinic, providing valuable insights into seizure patterns and ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective management.
