Summary

COVID-19 has a variety of symptoms from asymptomatic respiratory dysfunction to death. Considering the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 and its relationship with the neuroimmune system, response, autonomic balance, musculoskeletal and respiratory and neuropsychiatric symptoms presented by patients, the investigators highlight the potential use of non-invasive neuromodulation methods to assess the effectiveness of treating patients with COVID-19, as these techniques can be useful in the management of important clinical aspects in the functional recovery of individuals affected by the disease. The investigators intend to evaluate the effects of HD- tDCS to promote ventilatory weaning in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and to improve the respiratory performance of those hospitalized in nursing beds for treatment of COVID - 19.
