What Video EEG Differentiates

Distinguishes true epileptic seizures from non-epileptic events (fainting, syncope, or PNES).
Identifies primary generalized epilepsy versus focal epilepsy originating in a specific lobe.
Monitors therapeutic response and guides safe tapering of antiepileptic medications.

First Aid Steps During a Seizure

Gently roll the individual onto their side to keep their airway open and prevent choking.
Clear the surrounding area of sharp objects and place a soft cushion beneath their head.
Do not force objects or water into their mouth. If convulsions exceed 5 minutes, call 83080 88811 immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone diagnosed with epilepsy live a completely normal life?

Yes. With timely neurological diagnosis and consistent antiepileptic medication, over 70% of individuals achieve complete seizure freedom. Patients lead productive, fulfilling personal and professional lives including sports and education.

Is an EEG or Video EEG test painful?

No. An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is non-invasive, completely painless, and radiation-free. Surface electrodes are placed on the scalp with conductive gel to measure natural micro-volt electrical impulses produced by brain cells.
