An EEG test (Electroencephalogram) is a diagnostic procedure that records the electrical activity of the brain to detect abnormalities in brain function. It is especially useful in diagnosing conditions such as epilepsy, seizures, sleep disorders, encephalitis, and other neurological issues. The procedure is painless and involves placing small electrodes on the scalp to monitor brain wave patterns. In India, the price of an EEG test generally ranges from ₹1,500 to ₹5,000, depending on the type and complexity of the test. For instance, a routine EEG is usually on the lower end of the cost spectrum, while advanced versions like video EEG monitoring or long-duration EEGs can cost up to ₹10,000 or more. The final cost also depends on the diagnostic center, the reputation of the hospital, the city in which the test is performed, and whether a neurologist consultation is included. It is important to have the EEG done at a reliable and well-equipped center to ensure accurate results and proper diagnosis.
