A proposal to apply brain injury recovery treatments for cognitive impairment in COVID-19 survivors
Abstract
There is still little information about the nature and broader prevalence of cognitive problems during post-infection in COVID-19 survivors. This is also the case for pathobiological findings related to these complications. In the meantime, there is mounting alarm regarding potential long-term outcomes of COVID-19, with descriptions of 'long COVID' symptoms keeping up into the chronic stage, which include 'brain fog'. The cognitive impairment or brain fog creates many difficulties in daily activities and makes problems for those who wish to successfully return to their job. The author proposes applying brain injury recovery treatments for cognitive impairment in COVID-19 survivors.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; brain fog; cognitive impairment; systemic inflammation.
