The accuracy of headband electroencephalogram (EEG) was compared to traditional EEG in pediatric patients with absence epilepsy. This study enrolled 10 patients with previously diagnosed absence epilepsy and examined the concordance of headband EEG and traditional EEG in the follow-up EEG of treated absence epilepsy. The study found a concordant result in 80% of cases providing a signal that absence epilepsy is an effective target for headband EEG. The study showcases a need for further research in headband EEG technology and continued improvements in technology.
