About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Cognitive Impairment

Eligibility Criteria

8 Years - 88 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients affected by COVID-19 with or without comorbidity for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancer, asthma between the ages of 8 and 88 years of both sexes and illiterate or literate.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Disability for the instrument's use: limitation for the mobility of the upper limbs, presence of significant mental retardation that compromises the understanding of the instructions for the use of MentalPlus®, significant lowering of visual acuity.

Covid-19 Study Group

Covid-19 Control Group

Arm Description

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.

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Assessment of cognitive functions after COVID-19
The evaluation of cognitive functions by the digital game MentalPlus® (a scale of assessment and cognitive rehabilitation) will take place as follows: Scores range from 0 [Not improved] to 10 [fully improved] at cognitive functions memory, attention and executive after training with Scale. This game is already validated and standardized for the global population. The test takes 25 minutes to play, is playful and self-explanatory. It has twelve themes with cognitive functions: short and long-term memory; selective, alternate and concentrated attention, inhibitory control of executive function and visual perception. MentalPlus® is completely randomized in its phases and themes. Therefore, the game can be used for cognitive assessment with a single theme (25 minutes of execution) or rehabilitation on 10 more themes and a final theme for reassessment of cognitive functions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Rehabilitation of cognitive functions after COVID-19
Rehabilitation of cognitive functions: executive, attention, memory, visual perception, language, after the remission of the symptoms of COVID-19. MentalPlus® will be used in order to rehabilitate the cognitive functions of patients who have dysfunctions after COVID-19. The patient will play on alternate days (every other day) a theme of the game and will be rehabilitated through its 10 themes. At the end of these 10 themes, the patient will be reassessed by the last theme of the game, comprising a total of 12 themes. Each theme lasts for 25 minutes each.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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
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.

Interventional Study Model
Parallel Assignment
Model Description
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.
