You will learn to define the specific care in mobility disorders, epilepsy and demyelinating diseases, in such a way that the theoretical knowledge is integrated in order to be able to perform a suitable practical assessment "

This program addresses the management of one of the most common neurological diseases. Its prevalence in Europe is 0.7%, affecting in Spain between 300,000-400,000 inhabitants according to the SEN (Spanish Society of Neurology). As such, the curriculum covers the classification, symptomatology and possible causes of epilepsy, as well as the classification of epileptic seizures. This is a disease that, if not controlled, causes a great loss of autonomy.

In recent years, new antiepileptic drugs have appeared that have the same ability to control seizures, but with fewer side effects. These treatments will be described in thispostgraduate diploma, as well as other different surgical procedures in drug-resistant patients, which greatly reduce the percentage of crises. The use of video EEG diagnosis will be observed which in some cases makes it possible to locate the epileptogenic focus and suppress it with surgery, reducing seizures by 80%.

Similarly, this program will define the various neurological pathologies related to mobility disorders, focusing on Parkinson's disease and other similar diseases. For example, Parkinson's disease is the second most common degenerative disease of the nervous system. In Spain it affects about 80,000 inhabitants. The patients are highly dependent as they present tremors and serious problems in walking, causing falls with the complications they entail and reaching the end of the disease with almost total immobility of the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the scope of the latest advances in treatments, both pharmacological and surgical, which have led to an improvement in the quality of life of these patients and the importance of nursing in the application of this care and in the follow-up of the patients.

On the other hand, the different demyelinating pathologies are studied and reviewed, especially multiple sclerosis, since they are the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults, causing physical and cognitive disability, with a high impact on quality of life. According to the SEN (Spanish Neurology Society), by 2020 there will be more than 50,000 people affected by multiple sclerosis. It has progressively increased in the last decades, especially affecting women.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common degenerative disease of the nervous system, so get specialized and improve your quality of life"
