MEG Scan

Her neurologist wants to do a MEG scan. I am not sure of this test because it requires sedation. My daughter recently ran into complications from a drug induced coma and ended up on life support for 16 days. It has been a nightmare since all of this started 8 months ago.

Has anyone gone through a MEG scan?

From one mom to another. "
