Telemedicine in headache
TELEMEDICINE allows the distribution of health services and information through electronic information and telecommunication technologies. It allows contact, assistance, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring and management of remote hospitalizations through communication between doctors and patients.
The Coronavirus pandemic, which affected us, has become dominant over all the other diseases which, however, have not disappeared. The necessary measures to contain the spread of the infection, on the other hand, have often made the traditional visit to the doctor’s office not feasible. The Telemedicine service has been activated to allow patients with headaches to perform the appropriate checks, therapy corrections or to set the diagnostic-therapeutic path, which allows remote visits to be carried out and not to be passed in “second order” your”non-Covid “disease.
Below are the instructions for the visit to telemedicine, which make your journey easier.
For more information on telemedicine you can consult the page of the national guidelines of the Ministry of Health.
