With the help of public health systems, we were able to keep most patients home and provide them with necessary medical services including telemedicine support. Telemedicine became a convenient and effective way to provide necessary medical services to patients with chronic pain during the initial periods of the epidemic, as it allowed patients with nonemergent conditions to remain at home and allowed hospitalized patients who had been discharged early to maintain continuity of care. The epidemic provided many medical professionals an opportunity to incorporate telemedicine into pain management for the first time due to the urgent need for remote health care services.	./cache/cord-344688-uu3b529c.txt	./txt/cord-344688-uu3b529c.txt
