Hello! EEG measurement, low amplitude waves are common in cases that affect intracranial and extracranial conduction such as tumors, anxiety, cortical damage... Therefore, to learn more about the condition of the brain. If you don't sleep well, measure EEG, low amplitude of waves is a sign of what disease, it's best to go to a Neurology specialist at a hospital under Vinmec Health System. The doctor here may recommend that you perform a CT Scan or an MRI of the brain to find the cause and advise on the treatment of your condition.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Hope to meet you one day soon for an in-depth consultation. Best regards!
