Brief Summary:
After an acute episode of COVID-19, many patients experience persistent or recurrent symptoms with substantial impairment of their quality of life. The most common symptoms are fatigue, dyspnea, cognitive impairment and pain, but symptoms of all types have been reported. The heterogeneity of symptoms and their potential pathophysiology makes individualized and multidisciplinary management essential.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the change in quality of life at 6 months in patients with persistent symptoms after an acute episode of COVID-19 after 6 weeks of personalized multidisciplinary outpatient management versus usual care.
Detailed Description:
After an acute episode of COVID-19, many patients experience persistent or recurrent symptoms with substantial impairment of their quality of life. The most common symptoms are fatigue, dyspnea, cognitive impairment, and pain, but symptoms of all types have been reported. The heterogeneity of symptoms and their potential pathophysiology makes individualized and multidisciplinary management essential.
The primary objective is to evaluate the change in quality of life at 6 months in patients with persistent symptoms after an acute episode of COVID-19 after 6 weeks of personalized multidisciplinary outpatient management versus usual care. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the evolution of the quality of life at 3 months, the evolution of the main persistent symptoms (fatigue, dyspnea, cognitive complaints, pain), the patients' satisfaction, the predictive and explanatory factors of the evolution.
This is a prospective randomized open-label study in two parallel arms: personalized multidisciplinary outpatient intervention versus usual care (waiting list). This 6-week program of care will include:
* group education sessions including a psycho-education component (1 session / week)
* a personalized exercise training protocol (from 1 session of supervision to 3 sessions of guided exercise per week) adapted to the results of the VO2max exercise test
* if dysfunctional health beliefs are identified (SSD-12 score ≥ 26): group cognitive and behavior therapy (2 sessions per week, including at least 1 in person).
* if cognitive complaints and/or neuropsychological impairment: a cognitive remediation protocol (1 group session plus 2 home sessions per week)
