Summary

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multisystem rehabilitation program for Long Covid patients in two different settings.

Design: Randomized controlled trial. Settings: Health resort and home-based. Participants: 72 Long Covid patients. Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: Group A (n=36) received health resort intervention, and Group B (n=36) received home-based care. Both groups underwent a 5-week rehabilitation program, involving motor, respiratory, and cognitive exercises, two sessions per week.

Outcomes: Assessments were conducted before (T0) and after treatment (T1), at 3 (T2) and 6 months (T3), including respiratory and physical function, handgrip strength, fatigue, pain, quality of life, psychological function, and satisfaction.

Multi-systemic Rehabilitation

Patients in group A underwent a 5-week rehabilitation cycle with two weekly sessions, totaling 10 sessions, in a health resort setting. The patients underwent treatments at two health resort facilities located in the Euganean Basin, Veneto, Italy, equipped with pools of the same depth, size, and water type. Each session was structured into four components: 1. thermal mineral-rich aerosol therapy (10 minutes); 2. dryland motor, respiratory, and proprioceptive rehabilitation in the gym (30 minutes); 3. mineral-rich aquatic aerobic, strengthening, and balance exercises (30 minutes); 4. cognitive enhancement interventions (30 minutes). Inhalation treatments and aquatic exercises utilized thermal mineral-rich water, specifically salsobromoiodic water, naturally springing at approximately 80°C and used in pools at a temperature of around 36°C. The chemical-physical properties of the thermal mineral-rich water employed are reported in Table I. Patients in group B underwent a 5-week rehabilit
