Resumen
OSPINA, Carolina y VOLCY, Michel. Approach to the patient with headache in times of COVID-19. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, suppl.1, pp.27-38. Epub 13-Mayo-2021. ISSN 0120-8748. https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022291.
Given the increasing number of patients with COVID-19 and the rapid changes that the pandemic has brought about in lifestyles, this document was developed with the aim of providing a recommendation to neurologists and doctors in general for the approach of the patient with headache. Initially, the headache was treated as one of the symptoms of COVID-19, reviewing the case series and proposing possible diagnostic classifications to explain its presence in these patients. Subsequently, headache secondary to other neurological disorders also reported in patients with COVID-19 and the warning signs will be evaluated to carry out complementary studies. Finally, it will be reviewed how the follow-up of patients with primary headache in the midst of the pandemic has changed, recommendations on adjustments to be made during this time in its management and formulation, and finally recommendations on drug interactions in case of illness due to COVID-19.
