SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Detection of Isolated Epileptiform Discharges in the EEG
DESCRIPTION:ISNR Webinar: Detection of Isolated Epileptiform Discharges in 
 the EEG: The Most Undervalued Service that qEEG Professionals Provide\nWhe

 nThe WHO estimates that more than 50 million people live with epilepsy wor
 ldwide. In the US alone\, 1.2 % of the population or about 3.4 million peo
 ple have epilepsy. The sole reason that an individual would normally recei
 ve a referral to a hospital or a neurologist for epilepsy screening is if 
 someone has witnessed that they have had a motor seizure. However\, it is 
 not uncommon for qEEG professionals to detect isolated epileptiform discha
 rges (IED’s) during routine EEG assessments in the absence of a history 
 of motor seizures. Almost all isolated epileptiform discharges can be cont
 ributing factors to neuropsychiatric presentations with cognitive\, emotio
 nal\, or behavioral symptoms like ADHD\, ASD\, psychosis\, and emotional d
 ysregulation. Along the lines of psychiatric medication management\, one o
 f the presenters (Dr. Swatzyna) suggests that “EEGs offer augmented inte
 lligence” to help psychiatrists make more accurate evaluations based on 
 the presence of IEDs in the patient’s EEGs. For these reasons\, qEEG pro
 fessionals provide a unique and valuable service to their clients when the
 y discover isolated epileptiform discharges associated with presenting sym
 ptoms in the absence of motor seizures. Referral to medical professionals 
 such as neurologists and epileptologists helps the client to gain access t
 o medical treatment and medication management that would otherwise not hav
 e been warranted. Knowing when to refer out for epilepsy screening is anot
 her criterion for all qEEG professionals to acknowledge and practice in th
 eir clinical responsibilities. Along these lines\, we all need to establis
 h more cooperative relationships with medical professionals who may assist
  our clients/patients after the discovery of isolated epileptiform dischar
 ges.\n\nIf you cannot attend the live webinar\, all paid registrants will 
 receive a recording of the webinar. However\, CE credits are only availabl
 e for attending the live presentation. This program\, when attended in its
  entirety\, is available for 1 CE hour. Purchase CE Certificate HERE. CE C
 ertificate is a separate fee of $10.00 for 1 CE hour.
