我们的目的是指出癫痫的临床情况，在这些情况下，EEG提供了有用的信息，而在那些情况下，EEG是无用的，应该避免。我们对通过Medline、Cochrane和互联网获得的正式证据进行了概述，并进行了基于伦敦一家教学医院作者科室常见问题的传统审查。我们发现，没有足够的高质量证据来做出关于脑电效用的知情决定。EEG在癫痫方面有许多用途，但在转诊过程中如果不注意细节，可能会被滥用。推荐人和脑电图科之间的良好联系对于正确使用脑电图仪是至关重要的。
Our purpose was to indicate clinical situations in epilepsy in which the EEG provides useful information and those in which it is unhelpful and should be avoided. We performed an overview of the formal evidence available through Medline, Cochrane, and the Internet, as well as a traditional review based on the questions commonly asked of the authors' department in a London teaching hospital. We found that there is insufficient high-quality evidence to informed decisions regarding EEG utility. The EEG has many uses in epilepsy but, without attention to detail in the referral, may be abused. Good liaison between the referrer and the EEG department is essential to make proper use of the EEG.
