EEG: A Window into Your Brain’s Health

EEG

At Mir Neurology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating neurological conditions using state-of-the-art technology, including electroencephalography (EEG). But what exactly is an EEG, and how does it help?

EEG testing plays a crucial role in understanding how the brain functions in real-time and helps guide accurate medical decisions. Our team uses EEG as part of a comprehensive neurological evaluation.

What is an EEG?

An EEG is a safe and painless test that measures electrical activity in the brain. It helps doctors detect abnormal patterns that may indicate conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain injuries, and more. The procedure involves placing small electrodes on the scalp to record brain wave activity, offering critical insights into your neurological health.

EEG does not involve radiation or surgery, making it suitable for patients of all ages, including children and older adults. The test provides valuable information that cannot be seen on CT or MRI scans.

Why Might You Need an EEG?

If you experience seizures, frequent headaches, memory issues, or unexplained fainting spells, an EEG can help determine the root cause. At Mir Neurology, we use EEG to create precise, personalized treatment plans to help you regain control of your health.

Doctors also use EEG to evaluate changes in mental status, confirm seizure diagnoses, monitor treatment effectiveness, and assess brain function after injury or stroke.

What to Expect During an EEG?

The test is non-invasive and typically lasts 30-60 minutes. You’ll relax in a comfortable setting while our specialists monitor your brain activity. After the test, our experts analyze the results and discuss the next steps with you.

You may be asked to rest quietly, breathe deeply, or respond to simple instructions during the test. Our staff explains each step clearly to ensure you feel informed and comfortable throughout the process.

EEG technology enables us to detect neurological conditions early, ensuring better treatment outcomes. If you or a loved one needs an EEG, Mir Neurology is here to provide expert care and support every step of the way.

Early testing helps reduce delays in diagnosis and allows timely treatment planning, improving long-term neurological health and quality of life.
