Scalp electrode placement by EC2 adhesive paste in long-term video-EEG monitoring.

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of an adhesive paste named EC2 (Grass-Telefactor) in comparison with collodion, for scalp electrodes placement in patients with drug resistant partial epilepsy monitored by long-term video-EEG.

Methods: A total of 40 patients with drug resistant partial epilepsy participated in the study. In 20 patients, electrode placement on the scalp was made with collodion (group C) whereas in the remaining patients EC2 was used (Group P).
