Abstract

Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) is a technique used to assess central nervous system function by recording neuronal electrical activity in the cortex, aiding in the diagnosis, treatment, and detection of brain disorders. Objective: To characterize brain wave features (amplitude, index, and synchronization) in post-COVID-19 patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 68 individuals with post-COVID-19 symptoms. Results: Compared to healthy individuals, subjects with post-COVID-19 symptoms exhibited increase beta amplitude and theta-delta index, but decrease alpha and theta-delta amplitudes, as well as alpha and beta indexes. Male subjects with post-COVID-19 syndrome showed higher theta-delta index in both cortical regions, lower alpha amplitude in both regions, temporal beta amplitude, occipital theta-delta amplitude, and temporal alpha index than female subjects. There are no differences in amplitude, index of alpha, beta, theta and delta wave between the two hemispheres from each region in either sexes. Conclusion: COVID-19 can cause significant changes in EEG, different between sexes and compared to healthy individuals.
