VEEG (Video Electroencephalogram)

Video Electroencephalogram in Bangalore

Video Electroencephalogram (VEEG) is an advanced neurological diagnostic procedure that combines traditional EEG technology with continuous video recording. This allows our best neurologists in Manipal Hospitals Millers Road to meticulously observe brain wave patterns while simultaneously capturing any associated physical symptoms or behaviours on video.

VEEG is a safe, non-invasive procedure providing valuable insights into brain activity, significantly aiding in the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of neurological disorders. This procedure is particularly useful in diagnosing and evaluating epilepsy, seizures, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions, providing a comprehensive view of how brain activity correlates with physical manifestations.

 

Pre-procedure

Before undergoing a VEEG, you may be advised to follow specific instructions to ensure accurate results. These may include:

  • Medication Adjustments: You may be asked to alter your seizure medication regimen under medical supervision to provoke seizure activity during the test.
  • Hair Preparation: Your hair and scalp should be clean and oil-free. Wash your hair if any hair sprays or lotions are applied to your hair before the test as electrodes will be attached to your head.
  • Sleep Deprivation: In some cases, limited sleep before the test can increase the likelihood of capturing abnormalities.
  • Fasting: Usually, fasting is not required, but specific instructions regarding meals will be provided.

 

During the Procedure

The Video Electroencephalogram in Bangalore includes the following steps:

  • Electrode Application: Electrodes are attached to the scalp using a special adhesive. These electrodes are connected to an EEG machine.
  • Continuous Monitoring: You will be continuously monitored with both EEG and video recording. Depending on the clinical need, this can last from a few hours to several days.
  • Activities: You will be encouraged to engage in normal activities during monitoring to provoke typical symptoms.

 

Post-procedure

The doctors follow these steps after the procedure to ensure safety and deliver accurate results and treatment plans:

  • Electrode Removal: The electrodes are carefully removed from the scalp.
  • Data Analysis: The recorded data will be analysed by our neurologists in Millers Road to identify any abnormalities or seizure patterns.
  • Follow-up: The report will be discussed with you during a follow-up appointment, where our doctor may adjust treatment plans based on findings.
