Ambulatory EEG

Abstract

Ambulatory electroencephalography (aEEG) is a technique of continuous EEG recording while ensuring maximum mobility of the patient in a more naturalistic setting. The initial technological drawbacks of aEEG have been circumvented by incorporating digital and computer technology. Some of the current devices provide the facility of synchronous video recording. Low cost, convenience, higher diagnostic yield, and the ability to capture circadian patterns are the main advantages of aEEG. It is a useful tool in the diagnosis of epilepsy and nonepileptic paroxysmal disorders. Ambulatory EEG is superior to routine EEG in capturing interictal epileptiform abnormalities particularly in relation to nat..
