How much does electroencephalogram do long course

summary

My friend's child has been suffering from epilepsy for some time. A few days ago, when he went for a reexamination, the doctor suggested that they give the child a long-term EEG, so as to better understand the patient's situation. Now let's learn about the cost of long-term EEG.

How much does electroencephalogram do long course

First of all, epilepsy is a chronic disease, patients need to take antiepileptic drugs for a long time, and the adverse reaction of nervous system is one of the most common side effects of antiepileptic drugs. Video EEG can better analyze the changes of EEG and clinical manifestations of patients synchronously, and the analysis of the disease is also very accurate, which helps doctors to judge the relationship between abnormal waveform and clinical manifestations of patients.

Secondly, the etiology of seizures is more complex, about half of the children can not find the obvious cause of disease, after the attack feel tired, headache, sometimes vomiting and muscle soreness, EEG can be relatively easy to remove the interference of false error, reduce the occurrence of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. It is also of great significance to the type of epileptic seizure, the location of epileptic focus, the determination of curative effect and prognosis.

Finally, the long-term video EEG generally needs to be done for 24 hours to dynamically observe the EEG changes of patients when they have a disease attack. Specifically, you can make an appointment at the epilepsy clinic of Neurology Department of the brain hospital. As for the specific cost, because the charging standards of regions and hospitals are different, the price is also different. You can consult in advance.

matters needing attention

The characteristic of long-term EEG is that the recording time is longer, which is more conducive to find abnormal EEG and reduce missed diagnosis. Moreover, 24-hour EEG can walk freely with the recording box on its back. In addition, not all patients need to do this examination. We must consult the doctor first.
