Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) has been described as 'the pandemic after the pandemic' with more than 65 million people worldwide being affected. The enormous range of symptoms makes both diagnosis complex and treatment difficult. In a post-COVID rehabilitation outpatient clinic, 184 patients, mostly non-hospitalized, received comprehensive, interdisciplinary diagnostic assessment fixed follow-up appointments. At baseline, three in four patients reported 10 symptoms, most frequent were fatigue...

A growing number of research studies have explored the potential effects vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on brain physiology as well clinical particularly related to stress and anxiety. However, there currently are limited showing functional changes during different frequencies laterality transcutaneous auricular VNS (TaVNS). In this study, we evaluated whether TaVNS alters connectivity in healthy controls. We hypothesized that would significantly alter areas involved with emotional processing...

Up to 80% of professional musicians are affected by playing-related musculoskeletal disorders, but data regarding the frequency craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) in orchestra is scarce. To evaluate CMD and its relation pain various body regions. A questionnaire-based survey approach assessing symptoms players was adopted. Relative prevalence rates ratios for different instrument groups were estimated. total 408 completed questionnaire (response rate 57%). Playing-related teeth or jaw...

Introduction A substantial number of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 experience long-term persistent symptoms. First evidence suggests that symptoms develop largely independently disease severity and include, among others, cognitive impairment. For these symptoms, there are currently no validated therapeutic approaches available. Cognitive training interventions a promising approach to counteract Combining concurrent transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may further increase...

(1) Background: COVID-19 is often associated with significant long-term symptoms and disability, i.e., the long/post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Even after presumably mild infections, an increasing number of patients seek medical help for these sequelae, which can affect various organ systems. The pathogenesis PCS not yet understood. Therapy has so far been limited to symptomatic treatment. Greifswald Post COVID Rehabilitation Study (PoCoRe) aims follow deeply phenotype outpatients in long term,...
