5 Day Video EEG Process: What to Expect?

Have you had a 5 day video EEG? What is the process like? Is it the same as the one hour EEG?

Can you help? connect today

Yes I have. Pretty similar to the regular one. If it’s in hospital make sure you bring things such as word finds, your laptop or tablet that has games or Netflix on it. I hope everything goes well

Thank you! Do they still do the flashing lights, sleep deprivation, etc? What happens if they don’t record seizure activity during that time frame?

For me there weren’t any flashing lights or sleep deprivation. There is a camera in the room, and you will be given a button to push if you have a seizure. If nothing happens your doctor may look at cutting some of your meds
