Abstract

Purpose of review: The immense growth of social media has afforded new opportunities in dermatology clinical research. This review serves to outline how social media has impacted clinical research and to explore future avenues for which social media can make a significant impact in dermatology clinical research.

Recent findings: Recent clinical trials augmented by social media have demonstrated increased participant enrollment, shortened recruitment timelines, and decreased recruitment cost. The incorporation of social media into clinical research has also afforded greater access to teledermatology and the initiation of virtual clinical trials.

Summary: Clinical research serves as a primary source of evidence for refining healthcare practices by expanding the understanding of patient demographics, methods for improving patient care, and new therapeutic discoveries. Since its initiation, social media has played an integral and ever-expanding role in clinical research.

社交媒体与皮肤科临床研究。

综述目的:社交媒体的巨大增长为皮肤科临床研究提供了新的机会。这篇综述概述了社交媒体是如何影响临床研究的，并探讨了社交媒体在皮肤科临床研究中产生重大影响的未来途径。最近的研究发现:最近的临床试验在社交媒体的支持下，增加了参与者的入学率，缩短了招募时间，降低了招募成本。将社交媒体纳入临床研究也为远程皮肤病学和虚拟临床试验的启动提供了更多的机会。摘要:临床研究是通过扩大对患者人口统计学的理解、改善患者护理的方法和新的治疗发现来改进医疗保健实践的主要证据来源。自诞生以来，社交媒体在临床研究中发挥了不可或缺且不断扩大的作用。

期刊介绍： This journal intends to review the most significant recent developments in the field of dermatology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by expert international authors, the journal aims to serve all those involved in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of dermatologic conditions. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field, such as epidemiology, surgery, pharmacology, clinical trial design, and pediatrics. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
