Ambulatory EEG - Long-term brain activity monitoring

​

Ambulatory EEG is a portable, long-term recording of brain activity, typically lasting 24–72 hours.
Unlike routine EEG performed in a hospital, ambulatory EEG allows the brain’s electrical activity to be recorded during normal daily activities and sleep, providing a more complete clinical picture.

This test can be performed at home or in a clinic, making it more comfortable and less disruptive for patients, while providing clinicians with valuable diagnostic information.

​

Clinical Applications

​

Ambulatory EEG is frequently requested to support the diagnosis and management of:

• epilepsy and paroxysmal events

• Unexplained blackout episodes or collapse

• Nocturnal events or suspected seizures during sleep

• Differential diagnosis between epileptic and non-epileptic events

• Quantifying seizure burden in known epilepsy

​

For Patients - What to Expect

​

• A small portable EEG recorder is fitted at hospital or partner clinic.

• Electrodes are gently applied to the scalp using medical adhesive or collodion.

• The device records continuously for 24-72 hours while you go about your normal activities.

• You may be asked to keep a symptom diary or press an event marker button during any episodes.

• At the end of the study, the equipment is collected, and the data is analysed and reported by a senior clinical physiologist.

• There is no pain involved, and you can sleep, move around, and maintain your usual routine (with some restrictions around bathing/showering during the recording).
