About
RECLAIM is an adaptive platform randomized trial comparing the effectiveness of various interventions for lingering symptoms of COVID-19. Many doctors have seen an increase in patients with “long COVID” or Post-COVID Condition.
Fatigue, shortness of breath with exertion, tachycardia, brain fog, insomnia/sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal disorders, skin rashes, anxiety and depression are some of the persisting symptoms. Our goal is to assess the efficacy of various interventions in the treatment of “long COVID”/Post-COVID Condition.

About
Long COVID is a complex condition that affects approximately 1.4 million Canadians following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Fatigue is the most common symptom of Long COVID. This feasibility trial will evaluate a new rehabilitation program called COVIDEx for treating fatigue after COVID-19, and compare its effectiveness to the standard treatment currently used. The experimental treatment group will receive an 8-week multi-modal rehabilitation program with two 50-minute sessions per week. 60 participants will be recruited, randomly assigned to the COVIDEx program or standard of care (SoC) and followed for 24 weeks.
