A recently published study from University of Arizona Health Sciences could provide insight into how to treat long COVID going forward.
According to the study, the most common symptoms found were fatigue, brain fog, and dizziness. The symptoms can vary, and so can the length of time the symptoms last. Long COVID could last for months, or even years.
“This is a very important first glimpse into the clinical complexities of long COVID. We now have an initial roadmap on how to better diagnose it, and we need to validate it in ongoing studies”, said Janko Nikolich, MD, PhD, the principal investigator of the study's research team in Arizona. “Americans living with long COVID want to understand what is happening with their bodies,” said Admiral Rachel L. Levine, MD, assistant secretary for health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services."
The study data provided researchers with a way to identify a meaningful threshold to be able to find patients with long COVID. They also found that certain symptoms occurred together and defined four subgroups, or"clusters," that had a range of health impacts.
