Abstract
Algologists and neurologists play a significant role in management of headache. The study aimed to compare the headache management approaches of algologist and neurologists and evaluate the impact of telehealth education on their practices. A questionnaire was developed and sent to algologists and neurologists through social media and email. Demographic information, diagnostic and treatment approaches to a headache case, and the impact of telehealth education were evaluated 82 algologists and 97 neurologists completed the survey. There was no significant difference between diagnosis. However, the examination methods differed, with the neurologists relying on history and the algologists suggesting further investigations. Both groups agreed on the application of prophylaxis treatment, with botulinum toxin administration and classical prophylactic agents being accepted in both groups. The newest preventive treatment method was used more frequently in the Neurologists. Participants reported that online meetings had a positive impact on their daily practices, with 48% stating that they were reflected in their practice. Those who attended online meetings marked more up- to-date treatment options such as CGRP antagonists and Botulinum toxin. The study showed that algologists and neurologists had similar approaches to headache management, with differences in examination methods and the use of newer preventive treatment methods. Telehealth education had a positive impact on the participants, improving their knowledge of up-to-date treatment options.
