Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow. Although COVID-19 mainly affects the lungs and internal organs, musculoskeletal injury from this disease was reported with the presentation of marked elevation in creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels. Patients with post-acute COVID-19 are considered patients with a post-intensive syndrome (PICS) that results in loss of functional independence.

In the physical and rehabilitation medical field, various modalities with therapeutic exercise can be used to manage pain by a physical therapist and psychiatrist.

Pain management is particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the reduced accessibility to hospitals and medical resources.
