Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pediatric EEG and is it painful? ▼

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that measures electrical activity in the brain using small electrodes placed on the scalp. It is completely non-invasive and typically takes 30–60 minutes.

Why would a child need an EEG? ▼

EEGs are ordered to evaluate suspected seizures, staring spells, unexplained episodes of altered awareness, or to monitor known epilepsy. They are essential for diagnosing seizure type and guiding treatment decisions.

How should I prepare my child for an EEG? ▼

Wash your child's hair the night before — no conditioner or styling products. Keep your child mildly sleep-deprived if requested (this increases the chance of capturing abnormal activity). Bring a favorite comfort item for younger children.

Do you perform EEGs for patients from Marana? ▼

Yes — Dr. Tamara Zach MD performs in-office EEG testing and sees patients from Marana (approximately 120 miles away). Having EEG available in the same office as the consultation means results are reviewed immediately by the ordering physician.

What do EEG results tell us? ▼

EEG results show brain wave patterns that can identify abnormal electrical activity consistent with epilepsy, localize the region of the brain involved, help classify seizure type, and guide medication selection and dosing.
