Harm of electroencephalogram in children

summary

I always feel that the baby's development is abnormal. He is almost one year old now, but he only has two teeth. Regardless of other people's safety, when he went to the hospital, the doctor said to do EEG for him. After the EEG, the doctor said that the child's condition is normal. Some parents do EEG for their children in advance, and they are always afraid to hurt their intelligence. What's the problem There is no harm. Now I'll give you an analysis.

Harm of electroencephalogram in children

First, electroencephalogram is not harmful to children. Electroencephalograph is an electronic instrument for bioelectrical recording. Many electrodes are placed on the scalp, just a signal receiver. It absorbs the weak electroencephalogram activity signal, amplifies it by more than one million times through the amplifier, and then records the amplified signal through the recording pen and paper. In this way, we can see the electroencephalogram with naked eyes, and the current contacting the scalp is extremely weak, which is not easy to be felt by the general human body, and has no damage to the brain.

Second, the baby only occasionally or twice to do EEG, not often, the baby is not affected, will not affect the intelligence, sometimes some examination and treatment, its effect is far greater than the side effects, and only through the examination can be diagnosed, can symptomatic treatment.

Third, EEG will not stimulate the brain, so EEG will not have any adverse effects. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is to collect the electrical signals of human brain in activity through electrodes, not "electrodes stimulate the brain". Even if the electrodes are not placed on the head, under normal circumstances, the human brain has electrical signals, which are only collected by the "receiver" (electrodes).

matters needing attention

There are a lot of babies who are very afraid of EEG, so parents must appease their children's emotions. Whether children or children do EEG, they need to use special glue to fix the electrode, but it will not cause brain damage or other harm to children. Because the EEG is allowed to be accompanied by parents, so parents should tell the baby to cooperate with the doctor, generally the baby will behave better. Tell him that it doesn't hurt, and he won't be afraid.
