Guidelines for the use of EEG methodology in the diagnosis of epilepsy - International League against Epilepsy: Commission Report Commission on European Affairs: Subcommission on European Guidelines

Abstract

The Commission of European Affairs of the International League Against Epilepsy published `Appropriate Standards for Epilepsy Care Across Europe' which contained recommendations for the use of electroencephalography (EEG) in the diagnosis of epilepsy (Brodie et al. Epilepsia 1997; 38 :1245). The need for a more specific basic document of EEG methodology was recognized and the Subcommission on European Affairs was asked to produce more detailed guidelines to be used across Europe recognizing the range of practices in EEG laboratories.
