Advanced Video EEG Monitoring for Accurate Epilepsy Diagnosis at NHS Neurocare (a unit of NHS Hospital)

Accurate Epilepsy & Seizure Diagnostics

At NHS Neurocare (a unit of NHS Hospital), we are committed to providing advanced neurological diagnostics that lead to accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Our Video EEG (Electroencephalography) service combines continuous brain wave recording with synchronized video monitoring, enabling neurologists led by Dr Sandeep Goel (DM Neurology) to correlate clinical events with electrical activity in the brain.

Video EEG is considered the gold standard for diagnosing epilepsy and differentiating epileptic seizures from other conditions such as fainting spells, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), sleep disorders, and unexplained episodes of altered consciousness. This advanced investigation helps our neurology team develop personalised treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.

What is Video EEG?

Video EEG (Video Electroencephalography) is an advanced neurological investigation that records the brain's electrical activity while simultaneously capturing a video of the patient.

This allows neurologists to observe both the patient's physical symptoms and the corresponding brain wave patterns simultaneously, making diagnosis far more accurate than a routine EEG.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between EEG and Video EEG?
A routine EEG records only brain waves for a short duration. Video EEG records both brain activity and the patient's physical behaviour over an extended period, making diagnosis far more accurate.
Q. How long does a Video EEG take?
Depending on the condition being evaluated, monitoring may last from a few hours to 24 hours or longer, as recommended by your neurologist.
Q. Is Video EEG painful or safe?
No. Video EEG is completely painless, safe, non-invasive, and does not involve radiation or surgery.
Q. Can children undergo Video EEG?
Yes. Video EEG is safe and widely used for diagnosing epilepsy and other neurological disorders in children.
Q. Should I stop my epilepsy medicines before the test?
Do not stop any medication unless specifically advised by your neurologist.
Q. When should I consult a neurologist?
If you experience recurrent seizures, unexplained blackouts, sudden loss of consciousness, unusual movements, or episodes of staring or confusion, seek evaluation promptly.
