Will a digital boost keep Post-COVID recovery on track?
NCT ID NCT06124625
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether adding a 12-week digital maintenance program to standard inpatient rehabilitation helps people with post-COVID syndrome maintain improvements in quality of life and symptoms. Participants are randomly assigned to either rehabilitation alone or rehabilitation followed by the digital program, which includes physiotherapy, training, and psychological support. The study measures changes in quality of life, symptom intensity, and lung function over 19 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A 12-week digital maintenance program (two 90-minute sessions per week) following a 3-week inpatient rehabilitation program
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this could offer a practical way to help people with post-COVID syndrome keep their rehabilitation gains longer, improving quality of life and daily functioning.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and early, and the maintenance program may not provide lasting benefits beyond the initial rehabilitation. Digital access and adherence could also limit its effectiveness.
