“Low-Quality Evidence of Varying Effects of Telemedicine on Musculoskeletal Pain: A Review of Systematic Reviews”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38117672

This umbrella review of 20 systematic reviews found low-quality evidence that telemedicine interventions, including exercise, education, and psychological treatments, have varying effects on pain intensity and disability in musculoskeletal pain conditions, with most effects favoring telemedicine. However, high-quality primary RCTs are needed to confirm these findings and assess safety, videoconferencing effectiveness, and the combination of different treatment approaches.
