Brief Summary
Following the acute phase of Covid-19, some patients experience persistent or recurrent symptoms. These symptoms can take a number of forms: intense fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, respiratory difficulties, maladaptation to physical exertion, musculoskeletal pain, anxiety-depressive disorders, malnutrition, loss of sense of smell, headaches and so on. These symptoms are known as post-covid-19 disease, defined by the WHO as "a condition occurring in people with a history of probable or confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2, usually 3 months after the onset of COVID-19 with symptoms that persist for at least 2 months and cannot be explained by another diagnosis. Common symptoms include fatigue, breathlessness and cognitive dysfunction, as well as other symptoms that generally have an impact on daily functioning. The aim of this interventional research project is to assess the place of a specific spa treatment for people with a post-Covid 19 condition in the primary care pathway.
