It consists of collecting, using surface electrodes (sensors), the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The placement of electrodes on the scalp is done according to a system known as 10-20, so called because the electrodes are spaced between 10% and 20% of the total distance between recognizable points on the skull.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These key points, from which the measurements are made, are:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Currently, caps that have 19 electrodes incorporated can be used, and <\/span>It is placed directly on the patient's head. The electrodes are joined in a <\/span>connector and this, in turn, connects with the EEG head (place where the <\/span>electrical activity of each electrode). From here the signal is sent to the <\/span>amplifiers of the central EEG apparatus for transcription.<\/span><\/p>\n During the duration of the study the patient will only feel the presence of electrodes placed directly on the scalp, or in a special cap for the purpose of holding the electrode, but it is not painful at all.<\/span><\/p>\n Indications:<\/span><\/p>\n Epilepsy represents the main neurological disorder in which it is strictly necessary to <\/span>order an EEG <\/span>Brain tumors, or other masses that occupy intracranial space, can <\/span>detected and targeted through the EEG, through careful study of <\/span>several layouts obtained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In head trauma, and in frequent meningoencephalic infections in children, the <\/span>EEG is a good index of neuronal functioning, and serves to evaluate the <\/span>treatment effectiveness and prognosis.<\/span><\/p>\n In summary, its greatest indication is in epilepsy; space-occupying injuries <\/span>intracranial; brain injuries and infections and in some psychiatric syndromes <\/span>Specific.<\/span><\/p>\n Contraindications:<\/span><\/p>\n Absolute: since it is a non-invasive test, there are no absolute contraindications <\/span>for its realization.<\/span><\/p>\n We have this study in Neuro Spine & Pain Clinic<\/a>, which is carried out by the Eng.
