EEG is not harmful to children because EEG has no radiation.
EEG is not radioactive and does not contain radiation, so it has no effect on the child’s body and brain. It is mainly used for neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, convulsions, etc. It is a common aid to observe abnormal discharges in the child’s brain electrical activity in order to clarify the cause of the disease.
Some children may cry during the EEG, which may affect the test results. Before the test, the doctor will give a small amount of sedative, which has no effect on the child, so parents do not need to worry about it.
