March 5, 2024 updated by: Livia Stocco Sanches Valentin, University of Sao Paulo

MentalPlus® for Assessment and Rehabilitation of Cognitive Functions After Remission of Symptoms of COVID-19

This study evaluates and rehabilitates the cognitive functions of attention, memory, visual perception, language, and executive by the mentalPlus® digital game of COVID-19 surviving patients after remission of symptoms.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Subjects who contracted COVID-19 and present remission of symptoms will be studied, with different age groups, illiterate or literate, of both genders and with different socio-demographic characteristics. The volunteers will be submitted to the application of MentalPlus® to assess cognitive functions and SF-8® to assess Quality of Life.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Covid-19 Study Group
The Study Group will be the group that was remiss for COVID-19 and has some of the mentioned comorbidities as asthma, cardiovascular disease, cancer even if controlled by drugs or treatments.
Cognitive assessment and rehabilitation will be carried out on volunteers who have healed from COVID-19.
Active Comparator: Covid-19 Control Group
The Control Group will be the group with remissive patients without the aforementioned comorbidities. We will assess whether comorbidities can worsen cognitive functions' impairment after the remission of the symptoms of COVID-19.
Cognitive assessment and rehabilitation will be carried out on volunteers who have healed from COVID-19.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assessment of cognitive functions after COVID-19
Time Frame: 1 year
The evaluation of cognitive functions by the digital game MentalPlus® (a scale of assessment and cognitive rehabilitation) will take place as follows: Scores range from 0 [Not improved] to 10 [fully improved] at cognitive functions memory, attention and executive after training with Scale. This game is already validated and standardized for the global population. The test takes 25 minutes to play, is playful and self-explanatory. It has twelve themes with cognitive functions: short and long-term memory; selective, alternate and concentrated attention, inhibitory control of executive function and visual perception. MentalPlus® is completely randomized in its phases and themes. Therefore, the game can be used for cognitive assessment with a single theme (25 minutes of execution) or rehabilitation on 10 more themes and a final theme for reassessment of cognitive functions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rehabilitation of cognitive functions after COVID-19
Time Frame: 1 year
Rehabilitation of cognitive functions: executive, attention, memory, visual perception, language, after the remission of the symptoms of COVID-19. MentalPlus® will be used in order to rehabilitate the cognitive functions of patients who have dysfunctions after COVID-19. The patient will play on alternate days (every other day) a theme of the game and will be rehabilitated through its 10 themes. At the end of these 10 themes, the patient will be reassessed by the last theme of the game, comprising a total of 12 themes. Each theme lasts for 25 minutes each.
