Long COVID-19 Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
EVALUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A MULTIMODAL INTERVENTION TO REDUCE SYMPTOMS OF LONG COVID/PROLONGED COVID IN THE ADULT POPULATION OF PUNTA ARENAS, CHILE.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has seen the need to identify groups of patients who experience various effects in the medium and long term after recovering from the initial illness. These medium- and long-term effects are collectively known as the post-COVID-19 condition, Long-COVID, or prolonged COVID. Current evidence indicates, with conservative estimates, that between 10% and 20% of the population could be affected. Its nature is varied and ranges from physical conditions such as chronic fatigue, dyspnea and muscle weakness, to neurocognitive (compromised memory, decreased concentration) and psychological (anxiety, depression, anguish, stress). Early recognition and treatment of this symptom burden is essential for physical recovery and mental health. Due to its multivariate nature, it has been suggested that optimal recovery of patients' quality of life would only be achieved to the extent that their main symptoms are addressed from an interdisciplinary perspective.
