概要 OBJECTIVE: Using telemedicine is a way to improve the accessibility of specialists for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD); however, it is not widely used in Japan. We investigated the efficacy of telemedicine in PD by using a single-center cross-sectional questionnaire survey. METHODS: We sent a questionnaire to patients who agreed to participate from among 52 patients with PD who had used telemedicine services at Juntendo University Hospital from October 2017 to November 2018. Caregivers were asked to respond to one question separately. RESULTS: A total of 38 patients responded to the questionnaire. Most patients were satisfied with the telemedicine consultation (7.8 ± 1.9), reporting that it was effective in reducing their travel burden. Twenty-one patients attended a telemedicine consultation with their caregivers, and their satisfaction was high (8.4 ± 1.8). CONCLUSION: In a specific cohort in Japan, patients with PD and their caregivers were mostly satisfied with the telemedicine service.
