Some studies found problems with EEG fMRI from inconclusive results. In some patients, no changes or insignificant changes in BOLD signals occurred when electrical activity increased. One study that mapped brain waves of epileptic patients over a long period of time in an attempt to identify regions...
A medical monitor is any machine that is used to give readings of some function or aspect of the body. Common types of medical...
How is a recurrent seizure treated? You may need seizure medicine if you do not already take it. If you currently take seizure medicine, the dose or type of medicine may need be changed. Recurrent seizures may occur if you do not take antiseizure medicine as directed. Surgery may be neede...
What is a sound healing session like? You’re lying on a mat, eyes closed, no phone in sight. A crystal bowl rings out beside you—clear, haunting, steady. The sound doesn’t just fill the room. It fillsyou. Vibrations roll through your chest like ripples on water. ...
An EEG records the electrical activity of your brain. It is used to find changes in the normal patterns of your brain activity. A temporal lobe seizure may not show up on an EEG. CT or MRI pictures may be used to check for abnormal areas. You may be given contrast liquid to help ...
EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) originated in the late 1960s as a method for retraining brainwave patterns through operant conditioning. Since that time a sizable body of research has accumulated on the effectiveness of neurofeedback in the treatment of uncontrolled epilepsy, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, ...
When this type of status epilepticus occurs or is suspected, emergency medical treatment in a hospital setting is needed. EEG testing is typically needed to confirm the diagnosis. At this point, treatment should be started immediately. Treatment ...
activity in both hemispheres can be recorded in all cases of idiopathic epilepsy. What type of EEG monitoring is the EEG selection? First, long range video EEG monitoring is a diagnostic technique for epilepsy or epileptic seizures. Patients need to be hospitalized for a period of time, usually...
There is no one specific medical test that can tell if you have depression. Instead, doctors diagnose depression through a combination of lab tests to rule out other possible causes (such as hypothyroidism), depression screening tests, and by talking to you. ...
CSF may also be drained to relieve pressure and ease a headache. An EEG is used to check how your brain is working. Brainwave activity is recorded from different parts of your brain.How is viral encephalitis treated?Treatment depends on the virus, and on your symptoms. With treatment, such...
