An interventional study of Tele-rehabillitation and Prescribed Exercise Program in COVID-19 and Dyspnea, sponsored by Harran University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-08-29.

Most people who have coronavirus disease (COVID-19) recover completely without any sequelae. However, some patients continue to experience symptoms of COVID-19 even though their tests turn negative. This clinical spectrum that occurs after acute infection is called the post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Dyspnea, pain, decreased exercise capacity, limitations in activities of daily living, poor sleep quality, anxiety and depression are common symptoms in PCS. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of tele-rehabilitation-based exercise program on dyspnea, pain, functional capacity, sleep quality, anxiety and depression in individuals with PCS.

Change from the baseline to the 6th week in mMRC (Modified Medical Research Council) Dyspnoea Scale
The mMRC Dyspnoea Scale is used to assess the degree of baseline functional disability due to dyspnoea
Time frame: Baseline and 6th week
Change from the baseline to the 6th week in NPRS
The Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS-11) is an 11-point scale for self-report of pain. It is the most commonly used unidimensional pain scale. The respondent selects a whole number (integers 0-10) that best reflects the intensity (or other quality if requested of his/her pain.
Time frame: Baseline and 6th week
Change from the baseline to the 6th week in the 5 times sit to stand test (5XSST)
The 5XSST scoring is based on the amount of time (to the nearest decimal in seconds) a patient is able to transfer from a seated to a standing position and back to sitting five times. The equipment need in performing 5XSST test includes: Stopwatch and standard height chair with straight back.
Time frame: Baseline and 6th week
Change from the baseline to the 6th week in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was devised to measure anxiety and depression in a general medical population of patients. The questionnaire comprises seven questions for anxiety and seven questions for depression, and takes 2-5min to complete. Although the anxiety and depression questions are interspersed within the questionnaire, it is vital that these are scored separately.
Time frame: Baseline and 6th week
Change from the baseline to the 6th week in the The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a measure of self-reported sleep quality and sleep disturbance. Scoring Using a four-point, Likert-type scale, respondents indicate how frequently they exhibit certain sleep behaviors (0 = "few," 1 = "some- times," 2 = "often," and 3 = "almost always"). The PSQI takes about 10 minutes to complete and it doesn't involve any procedures or interventions.
Time frame: Baseline and 6th week
