Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Fatigue Level Questionnaire

    Fatigue questionnaire adapted from the Brief Fatigue Inventory (Mendoza et al., 1999)

    In Phase I, after each iteration of a 15-minute training.

  • Fatigue Level Questionnaire

    Fatigue questionnaire adapted from the Brief Fatigue Inventory (Mendoza et al., 1999)

    In Phase II, on even days (rest days of the intervention protocol).

  • Safety Level Questionnaire

    Safety questionnaire aimed at exploring the existence of side effects and/or adverse events.

    In Phase I, after each iteration of a 15-minute training.

  • Safety Level Questionnaire

    Safety questionnaire aimed at exploring the existence of side effects and/or adverse events.

    In Phase II, on even days (rest days of the intervention protocol).

  • Classification of side effect or adverse events

    Interview adapted from the Patient-Reported Adverse Drug Event Questionnaire (de Vries et al., 2013).

    In Phase I, after each iteration of a 15-minute training, only in case side effects or adverse events have been reported in the Safety Questionnaire.

  • Classification of side effect or adverse events

    Interview adapted from the Patient-Reported Adverse Drug Event Questionnaire (de Vries et al., 2013).

    In Phase II, on even days (rest days of the intervention protocol), only in case side effects or adverse events have been reported in the Safety Questionnaire.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Computerized Cognitive Assessment

    In Phase II, at pre-test (the day before the intervention protocol starts) and at post-test (the day after the intervention protocol finishes).

  • Quality of Life Assessment

    In Phase II, at pre-test (the day before the intervention protocol starts) and at post-test (the day after the intervention protocol finishes).

  • Paper-and-pencil Cognitive Assessment

    In Phase II, at pre-test (the day before the intervention protocol starts) and at post-test (the day after the intervention protocol finishes).

Study Arms (1)

Computerized Cognitive Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Individuals enrolled in Phase I and II will complete a Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT) based on an intervention with 15 different cognitive tasks in the form of games aimed at enhancing memory, attention, reasoning, perception and coordination skills. The CCT will be implemented in an app designed by CogniFit (CogniFit Inc., San Francisco, USA) to be used in tablets or mobile phones.

Behavioral: CCT Long COVID

Interventions

CCT Long COVIDBEHAVIORAL

A 15-day training protocol in which every 48 hours participants' complete a series of different cognitive tasks in the form of games selected among a pool of 12 games from CogniFit (CogniFit Inc., San Francisco, USA) whose difficulty level is tailored to each individual by the a patented Individualized Training System™ (ITS) software that automatically chooses the activities and difficulty levels for each person in every session.
