Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates and rehabilitates the cognitive functions of attention, memory, visual perception, language, and executive by the mentalPlus® digital game of COVID-19 surviving patients after remission of symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects who contracted COVID-19 and present remission of symptoms will be studied, with different age groups, illiterate or literate, of both genders and with different socio-demographic characteristics. The volunteers will be submitted to the application of MentalPlus® to assess cognitive functions and SF-8® to assess Quality of Life.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study has two groups. The Study Group will be the group that was remissive for COVID-19 and has some of the mentioned comorbidities, even if controlled by drugs or treatments. The Control Group will be the group with remissive patients without the aforementioned comorbidities. We will assess whether comorbidities can worsen the impairment of cognitive functions after the remission of the symptoms of COVID-19. The purpose of the research is to verify; whether COVID-19 alone in moderate to severe cases causes cognitive impairment or whether predisposing factors for such comorbidities would cause further impairment in cognitive functions after COVID-19 contraction and remission.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Covid-19 Study Group

The Study Group will be the group that was remiss for COVID-19 and has some of the mentioned comorbidities as asthma, cardiovascular disease, cancer even if controlled by drugs or treatments.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The use of the MentalPlus® digital game for assessment and rehabilitation of cognitive function after remission of the symptoms of COVID-19

Intervention Type DEVICE

Cognitive assessment and rehabilitation will be carried out on volunteers who have healed from COVID-19.

Covid-19 Control Group

The Control Group will be the group with remissive patients without the aforementioned comorbidities. We will assess whether comorbidities can worsen cognitive functions' impairment after the remission of the symptoms of COVID-19.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
