Sponsored by Danderyd Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Internet-based multidisciplinary interventions will be offered to participants suffering from longterm COVID-19 syndrome. Data will be collected by internet platform at Karolinska Institutet (BASS) before, after rehabilitation and at follow-up after 6 months. Both self-scored questionnaires and physical tests performed at home will be collected to understand the symptomatology, functioning and activity level. Rehabilitation during 8 weeks period will be given in groups as face-to-group, pre-recorded film sessions and by individual approach, the participants will use ExorLive app for physical activity.
This randomised study aimed to understand if multidisciplinary internet-based interventions performed in group and individually are applicable for participants suffering from longterm COVID-19 syndrome. Data will be collected by internet platform at Karolinska Institutet (BASS) before, after rehabilitation and at follow-up after 6 months. Both self-scored questionnaires and physical tests performed at home will be collected to understand the symptomatology, functioning and activity level. Rehabilitation during 8 weeks period will be given in groups as face-to-group, pre-recorded film sessions and by individual approach, the participants will use ExorLive app for physical activity.
The participants will be randomised for treatment and waiting lists using a website random.org. Waiting list will be offered rehabilitation interventions after at least 8 weeks period of waiting to exclude a spontaneous improvement or worsening of symptoms. To understand the impact of rehabilitation on work capacity and employment/economic supply, the data from Social Insurance databas will be obtained 2021 year before and upp to 2 years after the intervention. To understand the impact of rehabilitation on sickness-leave, the data from National Insurance Agency will be obtained for 2021 and 2022.

Change in health-related quality of life measured by Short Form-36
Important sub scales: vitality, general health, physical functioning, pain. Scale varies between 0 and 100 (highest)
Time frame: Investigators expect changes at 6 months follow-up after rehabilitation
Changes in heart rate variability during physical tests
Heart rate variability measured by puls oximeter during 2 physical tests
Time frame: Investigators expect normalisation at 6 months follow-up
Overall changed scores in validated questionnaires for fatigue, breathing, pain and sleep disorders
Validated self-scored questionnaires such as Multidimentional Fatigue Inventory - for fatigue (values 0-20), Clinical COPD Questionnaire - for breathing (0-50), Chronic Visual Analogue Scale - for pain (0-100), Insomnia Severity Scale - for sleep (0-21) and other questionnaires.
Time frame: Investigators expect changes already at 6 months follow-up
Changed functioning and activity
Functioning and activity will be evaluated by self-scored questionnaires and a new questionnaire Functional compass for COVID-19 based on ICF (International Classification of Functioning and Disability)
