Why Choose Us
faqAt CURA Medical Specialists, we provide 3-day ambulatory EEG studies in Sydney to diagnose and monitor neurological conditions such as seizures, epilepsy, and other brain disorders. This advanced, non-invasive test records your brain’s electrical activity over three days in your natural environment, offering a detailed and accurate assessment of your neurological health.
About
What is a 3-Day Ambulatory EEG?
A 3-day ambulatory EEG is a portable, non-invasive diagnostic tool that continuously monitors your brain’s electrical activity for 72 hours. Unlike a standard EEG performed in a clinic, our ambulatory EEG allows you to go about your daily life while we capture critical data. This extended monitoring is ideal for detecting irregular brain activity linked to seizures, epilepsy, or other neurological conditions that may not appear in shorter tests.
Monitoring
Why Choose a 3-Day Ambulatory EEG
at CURA Medical Specialists?
Our 3-day ambulatory EEG studies are recommended for:
- Diagnosing epilepsy and seizures
- Investigating unexplained episodes of confusion, fainting, or unusual behavior
- Monitoring treatment effectiveness for seizure disorders
- Evaluating neurological conditions with intermittent symptoms
The extended 3-day duration increases the chances of identifying abnormalities, making it a gold standard for seizure diagnosis and neurological evaluation in Sydney.
