Efficacy of Non-invasive Neuromodulation Treatments for COVID-19 Sequelae
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Non invasive neuromodulation therapy: In the 4 studies, the intervention consisted of 15 sessions spread over 5 weeks. Each intervention lasted 60 minutes. The intensity will be programmed in all sessions at Low, following the Arndt-Schulz law. The treatment was distributed in 3 phases: phase 1 of preparation, phase 2 to reduce fatigue and phase 3 to enhance autonomic improvement.
Manual therapy: Common manual therapy administered for said pathology by traditional physiotherapy and therapeutic exercise.
Placebo with non invasive neuromodulation: In the 4 studies, the intervention consisted of 15 sessions spread over 5 weeks. Each intervention lasted 60 minutes. The treatment was carried out with the machine turned off.
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of non-invasive Neuromodulation as a therapy in neurological, respiratory and musculoskeletal pathologies derived from the consequences of Covid-19. It will also estimate the impact of non-invasive neuromodulation treatment on the functionality and quality of life of patients with COVID-19 sequelae.The main question it aim to answer is:
\- Is non-invasive neuromodulation effective as a therapy in neurological, respiratory and musculoskeletal pathologies derived from the consequences of Covid-19.
Researchers will compare non-invasive neuromodulation to a placebo (treatment with the machine turned off).
Participants will:
* Be evaluated before starting treatment.
* Be evaluated 3 weeks after.
* Be evaluated at 5 weeks, or 15 sessions or completion of treatment.
* Be evaluated 6 weeks after finishing the treatment or 11 weeks after starting treatment.
