Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Post-COVID syndrome impacts at least 10% of COVID-19 survivors, with no established causal treatments.
  • The growing prevalence of post-COVID conditions necessitates exploration of diverse therapeutic approaches.
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic system with potential applications for complex post-viral syndromes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in managing persistent symptoms following COVID-19 infection.
  • To identify common TCM treatment modalities utilized for post-COVID syndrome.
  • To assess patient outcomes and symptom improvement associated with TCM interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cohort study involving TCM physicians in Germany and Austria.
  • Data collected via online questionnaires detailing patient symptoms, TCM treatments, and outcomes.
  • Analysis of data from 79 patients diagnosed with post-COVID syndrome.

Main Results:

  • The most frequent TCM treatments included acupuncture (85%), Chinese herbal medicine (77%), and dietary counseling (41%).
  • Following an average of 7 TCM consultations, physicians reported a 62% global symptom improvement.
  • Significant symptom alleviation was observed for fatigue, reduced physical performance, and exertional dyspnea (P < .001).

Conclusions:

  • TCM interventions demonstrated significant improvements in major post-COVID symptoms.
  • The findings suggest TCM is a viable option for managing post-COVID conditions.
  • Further investigation via randomized controlled trials is recommended to confirm these results.
