Results

Fifty patients were screened and 45 entered the study (43 women, two men). Out of 96 scheduled visits, 89 were successfully conducted using telemedicine. Eighteen patients (out of 22) in the telemedicine cohort and 12 patients (out of 23) in the in-office cohort completed the study. In this small study, clinical outcomes, namely improvement in MIDAS, number of headache days, and average severity at 12 months for participants in the telemedicine group, were not different from those in the in-office group. Convenience was rated higher and visit times were shorter in the telemedicine group.
