These guidelines cover a range of neurological conditions such as: headache, seizures degeneration diseases, and peripheral neuropathy. Also, the role of routine neurophysiologic testing is discussed.
Conclusion: As Neurological disorders are classified as one of the most prevalent reasons for disqualification among air-crew members, more research is needed to assess the impacts of decompression on neurological function.
