Filter by:This study aims to verify the efficacy / effectiveness of treatment with transcranial direct therapy (TDCS) in patients with Persistent Covid who present headaches, migraines and chronic pain, such as arthralgias and myalgias. Transcranial Direct Therapy is used in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, with results that prove to be effective for the treatment of patients suffering from symptoms such as migraines, headaches, chronic pain, fibromyalgia or chronic neuropathic pain. As can be seen, in the case of patients with Persistent Covid we find several of these symptoms, so it is suggested that, if Transcranial Direct Current Therapy (TDCs) is giving such good results, relieving these symptoms, why can not give such good results and help so much in patients with Persistent Covid, If many of the symptoms are the same, even if the origin or cause is different.

Chronic Migraine and Migraine without aura at high frequency are disabling conditions also in adolescence age (2% of adolescents report chronic migraine) Common pharmacological treatments are often inadequate. It has been reported that clinical results can be improved when traditional therapies are combined with behavioral approaches in particular mindfulness, that help patients to become more conscious about their symptoms and able to manage pain without medication. Generally, according to standard clinical practice, young patients (12-17 yrs old) treated by mindfulness practice come to the hospital to practice mindfulness in small groups of patients for 6 weekly 45 minutes sessions. As the emergency situation due to the Corona-virus pandemic phenomenon in Italy, patients missed the possibility to come for the regular practice to the hospital: for this reason the investigators propose a small pilot study to enforce the use of technology for patients so that they can continue to be followed during their therapeutic process. This preliminary study will be conducted on 25 patients They will be trained to practice mindfulness daily by a standard session of 12 minutes on their smartphone recorded by the expert who generally manage their sessions at the hospital. Also a weekly video-session will be performed to evaluate the clinical condition, to practice guided mindfulness sessions and to encourage to use strategies for pain management . This modality will allow patients to continue their therapeutic process and to be followed regularly during the one year after treatment. Follow up sessions are planned every three months: these meetings at the hospital will be face-to-face with every patient to check the clinical condition by the patient's diary. Last follow up one year after treatment.
