At the end of 2019, the worldwide spread of COVID-19 began. Health workers are highly exposed to be infected; therefore, they must use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as masks and face shields during patient care. Objective: Associate the use of mask and face shields with headaches in Physiotherapists of the Lima Metropolitan during COVID-19. Methodology: 186 Physiotherapists from Metropolitan Lima participated in the study. The present study will have a quantitative approach; non-experimental, prospective cross-sectional analytical design. A questionnaire developed by 23 questions will be used, where we will measure the headache associated with the use of masks and face shields, both in Physiotherapists working on-site and remotely (teletherapy) from December of 2020 to February of 2021. Result: The frequency of the participants who had headaches during the pandemic was 86 (46.24%) physiotherapists, the majority of whom were in the working on-site modality. The use of a mask and face shield is related to headache due to PPE in the response (p<0,05). In addition, headaches are associated with age (p<0,05), sex (p<0,05) and the modality of work (p<0,05). Conclusion: The use of mask and face shield is associated with headaches in physiotherapists of Metropolitan Lima during COVID-19. On the other hand, headaches are associated with age, sex, and work modality.
