This study aims to verify the efficacy / effectiveness of treatment with transcranialdirect therapy (TDCS) in patients with Persistent Covid who present headaches, migrainesand chronic pain, such as arthralgias and myalgias.Transcranial Direct Therapy is used in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation,with results that prove to be effective for the treatment of patients suffering fromsymptoms such as migraines, headaches, chronic pain, fibromyalgia or chronic neuropathicpain.As can be seen, in the case of patients with Persistent Covid we find several of thesesymptoms, so it is suggested that, if Transcranial Direct Current Therapy (TDCs) isgiving such good results, relieving these symptoms, why can not give such good resultsand help so much in patients with Persistent Covid, If many of the symptoms are the same,even if the origin or cause is different.

Device: Transcranial Direct Current Therapy (tDCS)
Transcranial direct therapy (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy of the
cerebral cortex, which consists of the application of electrical microcurrents, of
approximately 2mA, through surface electrodes placed on the scalp. Transcranial therapy
(tDCS) produces immediate effects on the ability of neurons to change their electrical
potential.
Each session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, and approximately 10 consecutive sessions
should be performed. It will be applied through two surface electrodes of 25 to 35 cm2 at
2 mA.
The equipment has a European health certificate (CE), so it is an approved equipment that
complies with all the safety measures for the application of the treatment.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with Persistent Covid

migraines, headaches, chronic pain, neuropathic pain, arthralgia, myalgias
- Patients with pacemaker / defibrillator
- Patients with brain implants
- Patients with cranial fractures
- Pregnant
