ABSTRACT=Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) has significantly advanced in the field of neuroscience as a highly sensitive tool for routine monitoring following a stroke. It holds promise in diagnosing post-stroke psychiatric disorders and evaluating treatment outcomes. This review systematically examined published papers and thoroughly analyzed research findings on using qEEG indicators to monitor mental abnormalities in patients with ischemic stroke. The review covers key time periods, including the early stage (within 72 h), subacute stage (72 h to 1 month), and chronic stage (over 1 month) post-onset. The current evidence suggests that correlation indicators from electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring vary across different time periods, with Power spectrum analysis is a current research hotspot. This review summarizes and analyzes specialized studies on utilizing these qEEG indicators for monitoring and evaluating mental disorders in ischemic stroke, identifying key monitoring indicators highlighted in current research.
