Complaints are slowly but steadily decreasing
Often have a healing effect Relaxation, regular sleep, exercise and a balanced diet. If not, occupational therapy is another option to train the affected cognitive functions. General practitioners also have the option of prescribing rehabilitation or referring those seeking help to a specialized acute hospital such as the neuro-post-COVID center at Jena University Hospital. Professor Finke observes that the subjectively perceived symptoms are alleviated at follow-up examinations after six months. “This suggests that for many of those affected, the symptoms are decreasing very slowly but steadily.”
