Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of pain symptoms in outpatients with COVID-19 and to analyze the relationship between pain-related, psychological, and cognitive variables in patients with ongoing pain complaints after COVID-19.
Patients And Methods:
79 people participated in the research. The focus was on completed demographics (such as age, height, and weight), pain-related (duration and intensity of pain), Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Dyspnea Score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) variables.
Results:
Significant changes were found in some of the post-COVID symptoms after 3 months. From the 3rd month, the VAS pain scale score, EQ-5D-3L quality of life score, and VAS score obtained from EQ-5D-3L quality of life scale, sitting scores decreased compared to the first measurements. Muscle strength, moderate activity, walking, and total scores increased from the third month.
Conclusions:
We suggest physical pain and inactivity symptoms in patients with COVID regressed in the 3rd month.
