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.
