Systematic review of patient-reported measures of treatment burden in stroke

What is it about?

Treatment burden is defined as the work of managing health for people with long-term conditions and the impact of this on wellbeing. Our study examined the published literature to find ways of measuring treatment burden after a stroke from the perspective of stroke survivors. We found six measures of treatment burden in stroke, but none comprehensively covered all the aspects of treatment burden that stroke survivors experience. We concluded that a new way of measuring treatment burden in stroke should be developed.
