The so-called long COVID-19 is a set of symptoms that accompanies the patient even for months after discharge from the hospital. These symptoms include easy muscle fatigue, moderate breathlessness, persistent headache, the feeling of a foggy head, and the development of psychiatric disorders. In general, the quality of life of at least half of the patients who come out of the COVID-19 syndrome, both mild and severe, shows a markedly worsening despite having passed a difficult physical and psychological test. Among all the neurological disorders that can most frequently be found in the long COVID-19, it is important to consider the persistent headache symptomatology as a possible chronic sequela of the infection. Since there is not a definition in the International Headache Society classification of this type of headache, we must focus our attention on this long-COVID-19 headache especially because clinical studies are being planned to collect big data for the International Headache Society Classification Committee.
所谓的新冠后遗症是指患者出院后数月仍伴随的一系列症状。这些症状包括肌肉易疲劳、中度呼吸急促、持续性头痛、头脑昏沉感以及精神障碍的出现。总体而言,至少一半从新冠综合征康复的患者,无论轻症还是重症,尽管已经通过了艰难的身心考验,但生活质量仍显著恶化。在所有新冠后遗症中最常出现的神经系统疾病中,必须将持续性头痛症状视为感染可能产生的慢性后遗症。由于国际头痛协会的分类中没有对这类头痛的定义,我们必须特别关注新冠后遗症引发的头痛,尤其是因为正在计划开展临床研究,为国际头痛协会分类委员会收集大数据。
