Telemedicine is defined as video-based consultations with synchronous video and sound. This systematic review investigated the use of telemedicine for headache patients. The primary outcomes of interest were treatment efficacy, feasibility, safety, convenience, compliance, and patient satisfaction.
A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed and Embase. Thirteen articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. A systematic review protocol was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, registration number CRD42021265875.
There were no significant differences in treatment efficacy, patient satisfaction, compliance or safety using telemedicine when compared to traditional consultations. Telemedicine was found to be convenient due to being less time-consuming and expensive, especially for patients with limited access to health care. Despite the frequent occurrence of technical errors, telemedicine was found to be feasible.
Telemedicine consultations are similar in quality to traditional in-office headache consultations and can be a more convenient solution for eligible headache patients.
远程医疗被定义为基于视频的同步视频和音频咨询。本系统评价调查了头痛患者使用远程医疗的情况。主要关注的结果是治疗效果、可行性、安全性、便利性、依从性和患者满意度。
使用 PubMed 和 Embase 进行系统文献检索。符合纳入标准的文章有 13 篇，纳入综述。系统评价方案在国际前瞻性系统评价注册中心注册，注册号为 CRD42021265875。
与传统咨询相比，使用远程医疗在治疗效果、患者满意度、依从性或安全性方面没有显著差异。由于耗时和费用较少，远程医疗更方便，特别是对于获得医疗保健机会有限的患者。尽管经常发生技术错误，但远程医疗被认为是可行的。
远程医疗咨询的质量与传统的门诊头痛咨询相似，对于符合条件的头痛患者来说，可能是一种更方便的解决方案。
