Faster Functional Performance Recovery After Individualized Nutrition Therapy Combined With a Patient-tailored Physical Rehabilitation Program Versus Standard Physiotherapy in Patients With Long COVID: a Pilot Study.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intervention group for COVID-19. Completed, enrolled 65 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Long COVID is a new phenomenon, in which individuals who experienced a SARS-CoV-2 infection still experience one or more symptoms, such as exercise intolerance, fatigue and/or muscle pains in addition to other COVID-related symptoms, weeks to months after initial infection. The aim of this pilot-study is to learn about which complaints patients continue to experience after their infection and how this affects their lives to a greater or lesser extent and whether a patient-tailored physical rehabilitation programme combined with individualised nutritional therapy leads to a faster recovery compared to a classic exercise program with the physiotherapist.
