Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes repeated seizures, which are sudden surges of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. In Uganda, many people suffer silently due to lack of awareness, delayed diagnosis, or misdiagnosis.
Some seizures are easy to spot (like convulsions), while others are more subtle — like staring spells, confusion, or twitching. That’s why a proper diagnosis is crucial — and that’s where an EEG comes in.
An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that records your brain’s electrical activity. At Kampala EEG Lab, we use advanced equipment to track brain waves and identify signs of epilepsy or seizure disorders.
During an EEG, sensors placed on your scalp detect abnormal spikes or wave patterns — often seen in people with epilepsy. The test can capture:
You or your loved one should consider an EEG if you’ve experienced:
Early detection is key. The earlier epilepsy is diagnosed, the sooner treatment can begin — and the better the outcome.
