• Status: Not Yet Recruiting
• Phase: Phase 2
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 60 (estimated)
• Sponsor: CEU San Pablo University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 75 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a 12-week tele-rehabilitation programme with monitoring via a mobile app produces medium-term improvements in self-management, fatigue and quality of life in patients affected by persistent COVID. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will a multimodal program (exercise with education) improve the self-management ability of patients with post-exertional malaise? * Does fatigue and quality of life will be improved in these patients? Researchers will compare an experimental breath program to a control standard care group to see if multimodal program works to treat post-exertion malaise. Participants will: * Follow-up 12 weeks online sessions: 1 weekly synchronous online session + 1 scheduled asynchronous session + educational resources * Daily use of the app: daily log, education and questions

Conditions
