Overview
Brief Summary
The objectives are to reduce dyspnoea, increase exertional capacity, increase vital capacity and respiratory muscle strength.
vital capacity and respiratory muscle strength. In addition to increasing the sensibility of smell and taste, observing if there is a relationship between the decrease of these senses with the senses with appetite and whether appetite has normalised in post-SARS-CoV-2 patients. It is a randomised and blinded experimental study with a control group where the sample recruited will be 30 patients, with a range of of 30 patients, with an age range of 19-42 years, where they carried out an assessment of spirometry, modified Borg dyspnoea scales and modified Medical Research Council (MMRC), Singapure (MMRC), Singapore Smell and Taste Questionnaire (SSTQ) and weekly smell and taste questionnaire.
