SummaryEtwa 10 % der Menschen, die sich mit SARS-CoV-2 infiziert haben, leiden nach der Akutinfektion unter dem sogenannten Post-Covid-Syndrom. Symptome hierbei sind Fatigue, Myalgie, Intoleranz für körperliche Betätigung, Schlafstörungen, Konzentrationsschwierigkeiten oder Angstzustände. Die Leitlinie zur Behandlung von Post Covid oder Long Covid empfiehlt eine multimodale und interdisziplinäre Therapie. In der Klinik für Integrative Medizin und Naturheilkunde am Klinikum Bamberg werden Post-Covid-Patient*innen mit Verfahren der Mind-Body-Medizin, der Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), mit Yoga, Akupunktur, Phytotherapie, naturheilkundlichen Selbsthilfestrategien und wassergefilterter Infrarot-A-Ganzkörperhyperthermie behandelt.

“…Similarly, the study by Pehlivan et al 23 with thirty-four post-hospitalized COVID-19 patients, achieved significant improvements in dyspnea and physical functioning through TR. More recently, the study by Hajibashi et al 24 offered pulmonary TR combined with muscle relaxation for six weeks in post-hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Their results showed significant improvements for sleep quality or anxiety, but not for dyspnea or other variables related to physical functioning 24 .…”

The main objective of this study is to analyze the clinical efficacy of telerehabilitation in the recovery of Long COVID patients through ReCOVery APP for 3 months, administered in the Primary Health Care context. The second objective is to identify significant models associated with an improvement in the study variables. An open-label randomized clinical trial was conducted using two parallel groups of a total of 100 Long COVID patients. The first group follows the treatment as usual methods established by their general practitioner (control group) and the second follows the same methods and also uses ReCOVery APP (intervention group). After the intervention, no significant differences were found in favour of the group intervention. Regarding adherence, 25% of the participants made significant use of the APP. Linear regression model establishes that the time of use of ReCOVery APP predicts an improvement in physical function (b = 0.001; p = 0.005) and community social support (b = 0.004; p = 0.021). In addition, an increase in self-efficacy and health literacy also contribute to improving cognitive function (b = 0.346; p = 0.001) and reducing the number of symptoms (b = 0.226; p = 0.002), respectively. In conclusion, the significant use of ReCOVery APP can contribute to the recovery of Long COVID patients. Trial Registration No.: ISRCTN91104012.
