Narcolepsy is characterized by appearing at daytime of sharp, unstoppable episodes of sleep, that are enhanced with emotional situations. More details here.

Insomnia is characterized by the difficulty to get asleep or disorders in the sleep pattern, that lead to the perception that this is insufficient.

The driver should always be ready for responding adequately to an unexpected event that can be “borderline”, and sleep disturbances are disabling for it.

It is important to distinguish epilepsy from other paroxysmal clinical conditions that are also disabling for driving. More information at Fundación MAPFRE.

The treatment of epilepsy is based on the use of drugs that reduce the abnormal activity of the nerve cells, reducing or suppressing epileptic discharges.

Epilepsy is an intermittent disorder of the nervous system due to a sharp, sudden and disordered discharge of the brain neurons. More at Fundación MAPFRE.

Demyelinization is characteristic of many neurological disorders, and can occur due to local injuries, ischemia, toxic substances, or metabolic disorders.

The etiology of non-traumatic spinal cord compressions is multiple, either of extradural or intradural. For more information visit Fundación MAPFRE.
