Electroencephalography (EEG) remains an essential diagnostic tool for people with epilepsy (PWE). The International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology produces new guidelines as an educational service for clinicians to address gaps in knowledge in clinical neurophysiology. The current guideline was prepared in response to gaps present in epilepsy-related neurophysiological assessment and is not intended to replace sound clinical judgement in the care of PWE. Furthermore, addressing specific pathophysiological conditions of the brain that produce epilepsy is of primary importance though is beyond the scope of this guideline. Instead, our goal is to summarize the scientific evidence for the utility of EEG when diagnosing and monitoring PWE.
脑电图(EEG)仍然是癫痫患者(PWE)的重要诊断工具。国际临床神经生理学联合会(IFCN)作为一项教育服务,为临床医生制定新的指南,以解决临床神经生理学知识方面的差距。本指南是针对与癫痫相关的神经生理学评估中存在的差距而制定的,并非旨在替代对 PWE 护理的临床判断。此外,尽管本指南的范围没有涉及,但确定产生癫痫的大脑特定病理生理条件是首要的。相反,我们的目标是总结 EEG 在诊断和监测 PWE 中的效用的科学证据。
