Popis: | Long COVID is a new rising health concern with no clear treatment guidelines. Patients have multiple distressing symptoms which are difficult to address in time-restricted clinic visits. Early evidence indicates a role of cytokines and chronic inflammatory processes in developing long COVID. Healthy lifestyle behaviors and modifying stress responses reduce chronic systemic inflammation. We created a novel shared medical appointment (SMA) program to provide healthy lifestyle education, mindfulness training, and group peer support for patients with long COVID symptoms. |
