Randomised, controlled, open-label pragmatic trial evaluating changes in functional exercise capacity after primary care lmonary habilitation in patients with long COVID: protocol of the PuRe-COVID trial in Belgium.

Introduction: Long COVID is a prevalent condition with many multisystemic symptoms, such as fatigue, dyspnoea, muscle weakness, anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties, impacting daily life and (social and physical) functioning. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) may improve physical status and symptoms of patients with long COVID, yet the evidence is limited. Therefore, this trial aims to study the effect of primary care PR on exercise capacity, symptoms, physical activity and sleep in patients with long COVID.
