This study aimed to describe the effect of adjunctive individualized homeopathic treatment delivered to Long COVID-19 patients with previously confirmed symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Fifteen female consecutive patients with Long COVID-19 were documented. The mean age was 48.5 ± 13.5 (SD) years.
"...identifies incident sequelae in the respiratory system and several other sequelae that include nervous system and neurocognitive disorders, mental health disorders, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, malaise, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain and anemia...
Early reports suggest residual effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, such as fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain, cognitive disturbances, arthralgia, and decline in quality of life. Cellular damage, a robust innate immune response with inflammatory cytokine production, and a pro-coagulant state induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection may contribute to these sequelae...
Symptoms of Long COVID-19 include but are not limited to extreme tiredness (fatigue), feeling short of breath, problems with memory and concentration (“brain fog”), heart palpitations, dizziness, joint pain, and muscle aches...
Fatigue was the most common symptom reported with a prevalence of 0.23 (95% CI: 0.17, 0.30), followed by memory problems (0.14 [95% CI: 0.10, 0.19]). Patients with Long-COVID-19 often report fatigue, performance limitations, headaches, smell and taste disorders, coughing, insomnia, depressive moods, anxiety symptoms, cognitive impairments, hair loss, and stress.
Fifteen female patients with Long-COVID-19 symptoms were admitted and treated by individualized homeopathy. All patients were older than 18, with a mean age of 48.5 ± 13.5 (SD) years. All patients were treated with additional HMPs [homeopathic medicinal products] and except one..., hence 93.3%, were healed from Long-COVID-19...
In the 14 healed patients, a time-dependent improvement of relevant clinical symptoms could be observed. The average time until improvement/remission was 47.6 ± 34.6 days. The median was 37 days...
No adverse events attributable to the homeopathic treatment were reported...
Our observations suggest that adjunctive individualized homeopathic treatment might be considered for patients suffering from Long COVID-19 even with severe long-term sequelae of COVID-19."
