Passage of standard procedures and deliveryvarious analyzes for us have become almost common, but the brain encephalogram has not been prescribed to most patients. In addition, many do not know what it is and what it explores. Especially often, parents of small children are worried about this procedure.
In fact, the encephalogram of the brain -absolutely safe and painless procedure: special sensors are placed on the patient's head, which read electrical impulses and record them in the form of a curve. This study is often used to establish or confirm certain diagnoses in neurosurgery and neurology. So, the basis for making EEG of the brain can be a number of reasons:
Contrary to popular belief, there is nothere is no reason to believe that the cerebral encephalogram can help in diagnosing psychiatry, that is, to confirm or deny it with such a disease as schizophrenia will not work.
There is no contraindication to EEG, however,patients are subject to certain special requirements. So, at the time of the study, the patient's hair should be washed and thoroughly dried. On them there should not be laying means, also during the day before the procedure it is impossible to drink alcohol, caffeine, guarauva.
EEG of the brain in children is notdiffers from a similar procedure in adults. The doctor will ask the patient to sit comfortably in the chair and not move after the recording starts. During the procedure, the doctor may ask you to close and open your eyes, breathe deeply, and turn on the flickering light. All this is necessary to understand how the patient's brain processes information, and whether there are areas that do not work properly. The only difference is that it is not enough for an adult child to explain why this procedure is carried out, so parents will have to include fantasy so that he is not afraid, for example, to say that this is such a new and interesting game.
In addition to this research, in the arsenal of doctorsThere is also an MRI and ultrasound, an X-ray study of the cranium. But they are used for slightly different purposes than the cerebral encephalogram, and do not give the information that can be obtained with the help of EEG. But the whole complex may be required, especially if the problem is rather complicated, and doctors are not sure of the diagnosis. But do not worry - EEG of the brain is absolutely harmless for any age and can be carried out as often as you want.
