Last but not least, just know swapping doctor's/providers means they will possibly want to re-do testing. I recommend always looking for a level 4 clinic that will provide better care than going to just your average Neurologist's office. If you feel like they didn't review the EEG as well as you'd like, then I suggest looking for a new provider for her. No one else will care to fight for her treatment or care - I know that sucks to hear but it's true. The best advice anyone can give to you is to be your daughter's advocate. So it's a gamble because It could potentially be something, but if it's not it's hard to explain that to a struggling family/patient who is hoping for answers/help as well that it wasn't actually a seizure and was something else.Īlso, as another person pointed out things as simple as clenching your teeth or even blinking, etc can cause spikes, which is very true! When I had my EEG(s) and EMU stay I would blink, move about, and while eating watch the waves because you can see them go insane with activity.

Not informing patients of this kind of creates false hope that something is captured when in reality the software just benchmarks areas to review later as it doesn't replace human judgment. It becomes a bit complicated for not only the staff but the patient/family as they don't really explain that prior to testing. That way when the Doctor goes back to review said spike they can see if it was epileptiform in nature or if it wasn't epileptiform in nature.Īs a note, it's why looking at "spike detected" on the screen isn't always advised. Neurologists/Epileptologists use software with these tests nowadays as they mark what "seems" like a spike etc. You would not know what to review/look for within the brain waves. Sadly trying to interpret an EEG without being in the Neurological field and being trained is almost a redundant task.
