The burden of neurological disorders is increasing, but access to care is limited. Providing specialty care to patients via telemedicine could help alleviate this growing problem. To evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and economic benefits of using web-based videoconferencing (telemedicine) to provide specialty care to patients with Parkinson disease in their homes. Seven-month, two-center, randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients’ homes and outpatient clinics at two academic medical centers 20 patients with Parkinson disease with internet access at home. Care from a specialist delivered remotely at home or in-person in clinic. The primary outcome variable was feasibility, as measured by the percentage of telemedicine visits completed as scheduled. Secondary outcome measures included clinical benefit as measured by the Parkinson Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) and economic value as measured by time and travel. Twenty participants enrolled in the study and were randomized to telemedicine (n=9) or in-person care (n=11). Ninety-three percent (n=25) of 27 scheduled telemedicine visits were completed compared to 91% (n=30) of 33 scheduled in-person visits (p=1.0). In this small study, the change in quality of life did not differ for those randomized to telemedicine compared to in-person care (4.0 point improvement v. 6.4 point improvement; p = 0.61). Compared to in-person visits, each telemedicine visit saved participants on average 100 miles of travel and three hours of time. Using web-based video conferencing to provide specialty care at home is feasible, provides patients value, and may offer similar clinical benefit to in-person care. Larger studies are needed to determine whether the clinical benefits are indeed comparable to in-person care and whether the results observed are generalizable. “Providing Specialty Care to Individuals with Parkinsonism Directly in Their Homes Via Web-based Video Conferencing — A Comparative Effectiveness Study (TELEMED-PD)”: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01476306
