What this research studies
This research aims to enhance recovery from cognitive impairments experienced by individuals suffering from post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS). It will investigate the feasibility of a remote training program called the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP), which focuses on helping participants develop new strategies to manage daily activities and improve cognitive function. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the CO-OP training group or an inactive control group, with assessments conducted to measure the impact on their daily living activities and overall quality of life.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals experiencing cognitive impairments due to post-COVID-19 syndrome.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have cognitive impairments related to post-COVID-19 syndrome may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could provide effective strategies for improving cognitive function and daily living skills in individuals recovering from COVID-19.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using cognitive training strategies for rehabilitation, suggesting potential success for this approach.
