UNASSIGNED: From the PubMed database, cohort studies that examined post-infection COVID sequelae published between January 1st, 2021 and April 30th, 2021 were selected to investigate patient demographics and symptoms. A review of massage therapy literature since 2000 in conjunction with identified Long COVID symptoms was performed.
UNASSIGNED: This systematic review identified 17 cohort studies across the world that investigated the symptomatology of patients suffering from post-COVID sequelae in multiple organ systems. We identified the pulmonary and nervous systems to be the organ systems most affected with post-COVID sequelae, with PTSD, fatigue, dyspnea, cough, sleep disturbances, loss of smell, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite as the most common symptoms reported by >20% of Long COVID patients. Massage therapy was historically found to provide benefits to patients experiencing similar symptoms to those identified in Long COVID.
UNASSIGNED: Recognizing the need for new approaches to treatment for Long COVID Syndrome, we identify massage therapy as a potential therapeutic treatment to positively impact the organ systems affected by Long COVID, especially the high-incident symptoms, and improve patient quality of life.
■从PubMed数据库,1月1日之间发表的研究感染后COVID后遗症的队列研究,2021年4月30日,选择2021年调查患者的人口统计学和症状。回顾了自2000年以来的按摩疗法文献,并结合已确定的长COVID症状。
■这项系统评价确定了全球17项队列研究,这些研究调查了患有COVID后后遗症的患者在多器官系统中的症状。我们确定肺和神经系统是受COVID后后遗症影响最大的器官系统,创伤后应激障碍,疲劳,呼吸困难,咳嗽,睡眠障碍,失去气味,腹痛,>20%的长型COVID患者报告的最常见症状是食欲下降。历史上,人们发现按摩疗法可以为出现与LongCOVID相似症状的患者提供益处。
■认识到需要治疗长型COVID综合征的新方法,我们确定按摩疗法是一种潜在的治疗方法,可以积极影响受长COVID影响的器官系统,尤其是高发症状,提高患者的生活质量。
