Patient's question:
Cost of epilepsy for men? Uncle has always been in poor health and recently suffered from epilepsy. He has been treated in many hospitals, but each seizure is extremely painful. The family is very worried and wants to understand the treatment methods for epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the most important configuration examination method for diagnosing epilepsy. The pulse morphology and location of epilepsy are also the basis for classifying epilepsy. Focal epileptic spikes often suggest partial epilepsy, while generalized spikes indicate generalized epilepsy. Repeated EEG testing or shortened recording duration using activation methods such as hyperventilation, photic stimulation, or sleep deprivation can reduce the opportunity to record epileptic spikes. In some patients, the recurrence of abnormal EEG background activity, such as slowed background movement or localized slow waves, also provides certain help for epilepsy testing and qualitative diagnosis.
