简要总结
A growing number of studies identify a spectrum of persistent symptoms experienced by COVID-19 patients for months after recovery. Symptoms include cough, fatigue, dyspnea, pain, and brain fog (cognitive impairment, including confusion and memory loss), which have a negative impact on daily activities. Homoeopathic practitioners from around the world have documented a number of successful cases of Post COVID treatment. Even though evidence from practice-based research is limited, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of individualized homoeopathy treatment on post-COVID syndrome.
