Is it epilepsy? How long does a video EEG take?

Patient's question:

A 6-year-old boy occasionally performs the same action, keeps blowing bubbles with his mouth, and makes sounds from his throat. We have already scheduled an electroencephalogram (EEG) with video recording. I'm wondering how long this procedure will take.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, video EEG doesn't take much time. At most, half an hour to an hour. In daily life, targeted prevention is the best. Many scholars particularly emphasize that the prevention of social sequelae of epilepsy is equally important as the prevention of the disease itself. The sequelae of epilepsy are both the patient's and the society's, which requires all sectors of society to understand and support epilepsy patients, and to minimize the social sequelae of epilepsy.
