EEG Sleep Deprived / SDEG

Also Known As:

Sleep Deprivation EEG

SDEG Brain Test

Stress EEG

Activation EEG

Sleep Deprived EEG is performed after reduced sleep to increase the chances of detecting abnormal brain activity. It is particularly useful in diagnosing epilepsy and seizure disorders. The test enhances accuracy by capturing brain signals under sleep-deprived conditions, providing better diagnostic results.

Includes 4 Test Parameters

Technique

Standard EEG recording performed after the patient has been kept awake for a significant period (usually 24 hours).

Purpose

To "stress" the brain into revealing abnormal electrical discharges that might not appear during a normal rested state.

Area Covered

The cerebral cortex.

Key Clinical Point

Significantly increases the diagnostic yield for patients with suspected epilepsy who had a "normal" routine EEG.

Includes Test 5 Parameters

Lack of sleep "stresses" the brain, making it more likely that abnormal seizure activity will appear during the test.

Typically, you are asked to stay awake most of the night or get only 4 hours of sleep before the morning appointment.

Yes, part of the test involves recording while you fall asleep, as many brain abnormalities only appear during the transition to sleep.

Yes, caffeine must be avoided because it prevents sleep and can mask the brain activity the doctor is looking for.

Because you are sleep-deprived, it is highly recommended that someone else drives you home after the procedure.
