Telerehabilitation for Pain, Function, and Quality of Life in Patients with Cancer: A Systematic Review

Key Points

• The review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in improving function, reducing fatigue, and its impact on quality of life and pain in cancer patients.
• Conducted a systematic review of findings related to telerehabilitation in oncology.
• Analyzed the effectiveness of different models, particularly focusing on supervised synchronous approaches.
• Identified gaps in current evidence regarding health-related quality of life and pain outcomes.
• Telerehabilitation is effective in improving functional outcomes and reducing fatigue.
• Supervised synchronous models show the most substantial benefits.
• Current evidence is less conclusive regarding health-related quality of life and pain management.
