Default EEG for mtbi\PCS

Has anyone undergone an EEG to establish any brain dysfunctions? If so can you tell a little about what to expect and are there different studies for different parts of the brain or will one test show if there is an issue?

Thanks

I had a EEG by mistake the secretary made of different neurologist.It is one test that they put sensors with to head with gummy like patches to stick and you just take like a 30-45minute nap or if you cannot nap just rest...I hope that is what you were looking for?

jinga,

There are simple EEG's, EEG's with a sleep session, and qEEG's. The first two are looking for seizure activity. The qEEG is looking for waveforms that are compared to a computerized database to identify various dysfunctions. Unfortunately, the qEEG was been maligned by a neurology publication back in the 1990's and has not found favor with mainstream neurology. It has the most chance of identifying problems if compared to a good database. There are a few good databases.

What is your neuro hoping to find or rule out ? Do you have any symptoms that are a cause of getting the EEG study done ?
