What are the diagnostic measures for epilepsy?

There are many diagnostic methods for epilepsy.

EEG: In addition to medical history and nervous system examination, EEG examination is considered to be a very important examination method so far, which can often help to locate and characterize.

Urine test: mainly aimed at some hereditary metabolic diseases, such as phenylketonuria.

Imaging examination: this examination should be done except that primary epilepsy and epilepsy syndrome have been diagnosed and neuroimaging examination is not needed. It should be pointed out that imaging examination itself can not check epilepsy, but its purpose is to find out the cause and location of the disease, treat the cause and estimate the prognosis.

Blood chemistry examination: such as blood sugar, blood calcium, blood magnesium, pharmaceutical ingredients, etc. Blood sugar, blood calcium and blood magnesium concentration are important conditions to cause seizures. On the one hand, the abnormality of these factors is an important factor causing seizures, on the other hand, it can provide a basis for the examination of some intractable diseases accompanied by seizures, such as hypoparathyroidism epilepsy and diabetic epilepsy. The main purpose of drug composition determination is to guide clinical medication, including selecting effective drugs and determining accurate drugs.
