This hub covers epilepsy EEG and MRI: how EEGs and brain imaging help doctors understand seizure patterns and possible causes. Clear explanations of common findings and what research suggests.
Yes. EEGs are a snapshot. Some people need repeat EEGs, sleep-deprived EEGs, or long-term monitoring.
Not always. It raises suspicion and risk, but diagnosis still depends on the full story.
To look for structural causes like scars, malformations, tumors, and stroke-related changes, which can guide treatment.
An inpatient or extended study that records EEG and video together to match symptoms to brain activity.
This study looked at the effects of highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) on girls with CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD), a condition that causes severe seizures and other challenges.
This study focused on adults with moyamoya disease (MMD), a condition that causes narrowing of blood vessels in the brain, leading to strokes.
Researchers studied a technique called external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) to see how it might help with various neuropsychiatric disorders.
This study looked at people with spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10), a rare genetic condition that affects movement and can cause seizures.
Researchers studied how children with movement disorders, specifically those with severe muscle stiffness (known as hypertonia), are evaluated before undergoing neurosurgery.
Researchers studied the use of a specific type of brain monitoring called thalamic stereoEEG in people with epilepsy.
Researchers studied 47 patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis who were undergoing surgery to help control their seizures.
Researchers studied the effectiveness of using common clinical characteristics to predict the results of genetic testing in adults with epilepsy.
This study focused on a rare genetic disorder called cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency (CDD), which leads to severe epilepsy and developmental challenges.
