Summary
This study aims to verify the efficacy/effectiveness of treatment with transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) in patients with Long Covid who experience headaches, migraines, and chronic pain, such as arthralgia and myalgia, as well as sleep problems. Transcranial direct current stimulation is used in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, with results that have proven to be effective for treating patients suffering from symptoms like migraines, headaches, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or chronic neuropathic pain and insomnia. As you can see, in the case of patients with Long Covid, we find several of these symptoms, so it is suggested that if transcranial direct current therapy (TDCS) gives such good results in relieving these symptoms, why couldn't it give such good results and help just as much in patients with Long Covid, since many of the symptoms are the same, even if the origin or cause is different.
