Abstract

Although the number of SARS-CoV-2 new cases may be declining due to the implementation of the vaccine in the USA, there is a rising cohort of people with long-term effects from the virus. These long-term effects include loss of taste, heart palpitations, and chronic pain syndromes. In this commentary, we assess the current literature to appraise the knowledge of long-term COVID-19 effects related to long-term pain syndromes including testicular pain, headache, chronic pain, and chest pain.

Keywords: post covid chronic pain; post covid headache; post covid syndrome; post covid testicular pain.
