Methods A total of 50 female patients with epilepsy who underment video electroencephalogram between May 2011 and May 2013 were divided into tonsure group, collodion group, and improvement group, with 40 patients in each group. Differences among three methods of fixation were observed and a questionnaire survey on satisfaction of patients and medical staff was conducted.
