Transl Perioper Pain Med. 2022;9(3):478-481. doi: 10.31480/2330-4871/162.

Abstract

COVID-19 led to a catastrophic, international, public health crisis after its first detection in 2019 [1]. Though it is primarily a respiratory virus, it impacts the central and peripheral nervous systems leading to further COVID-19-associated disability [2]. This Perspective reviews our current understanding of the neurological sequelae of COVID-19 and the gaps in our understanding of their treatment and epidemiology.
