Summary |
Objective |
Changes in EEG patterns during stroke are almost immediate; however, a full EEG test takes time and requires highly qualified staff. In this study, we examined whether a short recording using a portable EEG device can differentiate between a stroke and control group.
Methods |
EEG samples were collected from patients with an acute ischemic stroke event. The control group comprised healthy volunteers. EEG recordings were recorded using a portable brain wave sensor device. The Revised Brain Symmetry Index (rsBSI) was used to quantify the symmetry of spectral power between the two hemispheres.
Results |
The investigation group included 33 patients (ages 46–96, mean age 72 years, 66% male) who were diagnosed with ischemic stroke. The control group included 25 healthy individuals. Scores for the rsBSI of non-stroke patients (M=0.1686, SD=0.10) differed significantly from those of ischemic stroke patients (P<0.05, M=0.363, SD=0.25).
Conclusions |
A statistically significant difference was observed between a group of stroke patients and a matched group of healthy controls with a short recording using a portable EEG device.
