Is there an educational resource about headache and migraine that is available in Spanish?
Description
Dr. Pozo Rosich developed a website in Spanish, www.midolordecabeza.org, that contains an abundance of educational information on headache and migraine for both patients and physicians.
Transcript
So several years ago I realized that there was not enough information for the majority of patients and that I could not be everywhere. Like I was telling you, I went to give talks and I didn't see that there was much reaction. At least the other doctors were not using that information to pass on to their patients. So I thought the only way that I can be everywhere, in the sense that I can share with the world what I know, is through a website [www.midolordecabeza.org]. It has three goals. First of all, it has to bring together all of the people interested in migraine. Not only patients, but, as you were saying, also other physicians that are in contact with migraineurs and that are not used to understanding how the brain works. But also maybe even the pharmaceutical industry or anyone that is interested in migraine. You know, it should be like ... you know, there's a Greek word. “Agora”, which means it's, like I said, it's like a market for everything.
That was one of the goals. The second goal was to give tools both to patients and to physicians in order to manage their migraine better, not only with education but also with specific tools like doing a calendar or we have different things that they can do in order to share with themselves to see how they change and how their migraine evolves in time. But also with their physician. So it gives tools to people, which I think is very practical, too. And the third thing is that it has a forum and blog and so on, but also for ... it's like patient group therapy, so in order for patients to be able to share what is happening with them and so on.
