Emerging trends in management of long COVID with a focus on pulmonary rehabilitation: A review

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 18(5)

Published: May 1, 2024

Abstract Long COVID, or post‐acute sequelae of COVID‐19 (PASC), represents a complex condition with persistent symptoms following SARS‐Cov‐2 infection. The include fatigue, dyspnoea, cognitive impairment, decreased quality life in variable levels severity. Potential mechanisms behind long COVID vascular damage, immune dysregulation and viral persistence. Diagnosing involves medical evaluation by multidisciplinary team assessment scoring systems development. Treatment strategies are symptom‐focused, encompassing care, rehabilitation tailored exercise programmes. Pulmonary rehabilitation, an effective critical component management, has shown promise, particularly for patients respiratory such as dyspnoea. These programmes, which combine exercise, breathing techniques, education psychological support, improve symptoms, overall recovery. Innovative technologies, telemedicine, wearable devices, telerehabilitation, transforming management. Telemedicine facilitates consultations interventions, eliminating healthcare access barriers. Wearable devices enable remote continuous monitoring during their activities. Telerehabilitation proven to be safe feasible have high potential This review provides concise overview its definition, prevalence, mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnosis management approaches. It emphasizes the significance approach treatment focus on pulmonary innovative technology advances effectively address COVID.

Features of respiratory rehabilitation in children after COVID-19 according to Ukrainian and global guidelines

CHILD`S HEALTH, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(1), P. 88 - 96

Published: March 5, 2025

Background. With the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among children, study its consequences and need for effective rehabilitation methods following recovery have become important issues. Given an increasing number post-COVID complications in pediatric practice, development implementation scientifically grounded approaches to respiratory are crucial. The purpose this article is summarize current scientific data presented publications from PubMed, Scopus, Web Science databases, as well international national clinical guidelines regarding features children after COVID-19. Results. Respiratory COVID-19 critically due potential long-term system, including shortness breath, cough, reduced physical endurance. growing cases it necessary implement that meet modern requirements contribute complete functions. Conclusions. essential restoring functions reducing symptoms. An individualized approach allows consideration age physiological characteristics each child. This enables adaptation achieve maximum effectiveness during process. Further research will allow a detailed evaluation various approaches, exercises, breathing techniques, psychological support, It also help identify optimal treatment strategies depending on severity individual patients.

A Systems Neuroscience Approach to Diagnosis and Rehabilitation of Post COVID Neurological Syndrome Based on the Systems Neuroscience Test Battery (SNTB) Study Protocol

Neurorehabilitation, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 56(1), P. 37 - 47

Published: Feb. 1, 2025

The proposed study reports the design and development of a rapid screening tool, Systems Neuroscience Test Battery (SNTB), for diagnosing evaluating neurological manifestations Post-COVID-19 Neurological Syndrome (PCNS) within broader context Post-Acute Sequelae to COVID-19 (PASC). SNTB is designed incorporate behaviorally relevant Telehealth component that enhances consumer confidence in symptom discrimination, management PCNS, guides rehabilitation programs while allowing continuous evaluation intervention effectiveness. employs longitudinal design, with telehealth routine blood assessments conducted at three-month intervals, including least two follow-ups post-recruitment. These will involve Consumer-Reported Symptoms, Clinical History, Neuropsychological Data, Timed Psychophysics, aimed PCNS-related symptoms ‘brain fog” its affect on visually driven attention, cognition motor behaviors. are intended validate characteristics fog’ identify predictive behavioral biomarkers PCNS. target population includes adults aged 18–65 who have experienced persistent three months following confirmed infection. Exclusion criteria include individuals unable undergo radiological examinations, such as pregnant women or those contraindications MRI, ensuring robustness sample reducing potential selection bias. tool facilitate online identification PCNS aid discovery effective molecular biomarker combinations medical rehabilitation.
