Conducting (EEG) EEG-video monitoring for children from 4 to 18 years old

Children's EEG video monitoring is a highly informative diagnostic method in which brain waves and synchronous video of a child's actions (from 4 to 18 years old) are recorded, which provides invaluable information about the functioning of the central nervous system and pathological changes in many diseases of the central nervous system.

This diagnostic method is actively used to control the treatment, its effectiveness, and correctness.

This test is carried out in our clinic, its duration can be from several hours to several days (sessions) according to the decision of our specialists, depending on how many epileptic seizures and events the child had. Pediatric encephalography is a painless and safe research method.

How to prepare a child for the study?

Explain to your child that this is not scary at all.
Wash your child's hair well the night before the examination.
Your baby can eat regular food and take any prescribed medications, but only with the agreement of the doctors of our clinic or your pediatrician.
Bring your child favorite toys, games, books, or other items to help him feel more comfortable. They can also do their homework during the test.

How is children's encephalography carried out in Ukraine?

You cannot do without the help of parents in carrying out children's encephalography!

Our specialists will not be in the room with your child. You must stay indoors with your baby throughout the entire EEG monitoring. The staff will show your child how the test is done and you can stay with him during the preparation process. If it is difficult for your child to remain still when the electrodes are on his head, we can ask you for help to keep him still. We cannot use drugs to put the baby to sleep at this time because they can affect the test results.

The results obtained in the form of printed sheets with the image of the background curve are sent for processing and decoding by the specialists of our clinic. Parents receive a printed doctor's report with the child's EEG graphs.

After that, the final results of the study are handed over to the child's parents within 3-5 days after the examination (except in cases of emergency) or sent by e-mail.

When decoding an EEG, doctors should have extensive experience in this area. The medical network of Dobrobut clinics in Kyiv has several advantages due to the high qualifications of specialists and accumulated experience.

The final decision on whether the procedure is indicated for your baby or whether any specific symptoms can interfere with the study is made by our specialists in each case individually!
