Key findings
- Draws on nearly ten years of clinical use in pediatric neurology
- Combining EEG and qEEG adds clinical and neurophysiological information beyond either alone
- Describes uses across headaches, tics, autism, inattention, sleep, anxiety and depression
- Presents qEEG as a complement to a thorough history and examination; an opinion piece, not a study
A short personal account from a pediatric neurologist of almost ten years using standard EEG together with qEEG brain imaging in a busy practice. The author explains that qEEG is non-invasive, inexpensive and portable, with very fine timing and improving spatial detail, and is a validated way to study abnormal brain dynamics and network connections. The article describes how this combination helps day to day with diagnosis and management of problems such as headaches, tics, autism, attention difficulties, sleep problems, anxiety and depression.
