ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Analysis of Breathing Pattern Post COVID-19," is studying how COVID-19 affects people’s breathing patterns after they have recovered from the virus. Researchers want to understand how different factors, like lung function and muscle strength, relate to breathing changes in individuals who have had COVID-19. To do this, they will use a special device called the Respiratory Diagnostic Assistant (RDA) to measure participants' breathing patterns. The study will follow participants for six months to gather important data that can help improve care for people recovering from COVID-19.

To participate in this study, you must be over 18 years old and have been diagnosed with COVID-19 but are now symptom-free for more than 40 days after your home isolation or hospital discharge. Unfortunately, individuals who are pregnant, unable to complete the assessments, or have had a reinfection with COVID-19 cannot participate. During the study, you can expect to have a clinical interview and a thorough evaluation of your breathing and lung function, all conducted in a friendly and supportive environment at the Federal University of Pernambuco. This research aims to provide better treatment plans for individuals affected by COVID-19, helping to enhance their recovery experience.
