Filter by:The term recovery from COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is unverified because the infection leaves many symptoms due to permanent effects on multiple organs; The primary objective of this research is to understand acute and chronic long COVID symptoms by asking questions detecting patient's experience especially symptoms lasting for several months which is known as chronic fatigue syndrome(Myalgic encephalitis). The study focuses on symptoms describing Myalgic encephalitis which may still affect COVID patients for several months after the infection along with making a big picture about rare symptoms that may the patient experienced during or after the infection. A secondary objective of this research is to focus on the long-term sequelae effects and comorbidities following COVID-19 vaccination.
The purpose of the study is to investigate if there are common biopsychosocial vulnerability factors for developing and maintaining fatigue, regardless of the diagnosis. The investigators also believe that subgroups differ in terms of these factors. Participating patients with ME/CFS, burnout syndrome and post-covid fatigue complete a web form at inclusion and after 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. There is no upper limit for the number of participants in the web survey. 150 participants are asked to submit blood samples at a local laboratory in connection with the questionnaires for analysis of inflammatory markers and one urine sample for analysis of nutritional markers. Two control groups are included, 150 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 50 healthy individuals. The longitudinal design makes it possible to investigate how inflammatory markers, nutritional status, symptom burden, health related quality of life co-vary over time and how work ability and sick leave is affected.
Long Covid could be much more frequent than it is thought to be. Few dwell on the great problem represented by the post covid syndrome. The virus often leaves important marks on our body, and those who recover face problems of various kinds: chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, dry cough, headache, cognitive difficulties. On the duration and resolution of this syndrome, now recognized as a highly debilitating condition, there are still no great answers: for this reason it is always important to emphasize that contracting Covid, even in a not serious form, still means exposing oneself to long-term risks that are still not well codified by the scientific community. Guidelines and more tools are expected to best assist these patients.
Solve Together is a platform designed to collect clinical data about post-infectious diseases, including ME/CFS and Long Covid. This data is made available to researchers and will be used to identify participants eligible for clinical studies. The platform also empowers patients to make reports for their doctors, connect medical records and/or a health-tracking wearable device, and identify their unique symptoms and health patterns.
The purpose of this study is to examine cardiopulmonary function in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) patients and determine how it relates to the common symptom of Post-exertional malaise (PEM). Subjects will complete a maximal exercise test on 2 subsequent days. Total blood volume will be measured prior to each exercise test, and patient with hypovolemia on day 1, will be randomized to either a saline or sham infusion prior to the 2nd exercise test. A total of 80 CFS patients will be enrolled.
Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Proof-of-Concept Study to Evaluate the Benefit of RUCONEST in Improving Neurological Symptoms in Post-SARS-CoV-2 Infection.
This cohort study implements patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients with bodily stress syndrome in a clinic for functional disorders.
Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) is an unexplained multisymptom/multisystem disorder for which there are currently no validated treatments. The present exploratory clinical trial aims to advance our understand of the mechanisms of in situ GSH synthesis control through assessment of the response of brain GSH and plasma markers of oxidative stress to different doses of NAC in comparison to placebo, as a potential treatment for ME/CFS that would provide neuroprotection against oxidative stress by restoring cortical GSH reserves. If successful, this exploratory clinical trial would address a significant public health concern by shedding new light onto the mechanisms of action of NAC in brain GSH restoration, which could open a new avenue for the development of potentially effective treatments for a disorder, ME/CFS, that currently has none.
Chronic fatigue is the most common and debilitating symptom in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors. Indeed, it has been widely reported that patients who stayed in ICU for prolonged periods report a feeling of tiredness for months to years after ICU discharge. This symptom seems particularly pronounced in Covid-19 patients and may affect their quality of life by decreasing their capacity to perform simple tasks of daily life. The aim of the present project is to determine whether deteriorated neuromuscular function (i.e. increased fatigability) is involved in the feeling of fatigue of Covid-19 patients. Because the causes of this feeling are multi-dimensional, a large battery of tests will allow us to better understand the origin of chronic fatigue. A better knowledge of chronic fatigue etiology and its recovery will allow to optimize rehabilitation treatments to shorten the persistence of chronic fatigue and in fine improve life quality.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a severe medical condition. It is characterized by long term fatique and other persisted symptoms, such as a cognitive disabilities and orthostatic intolerance. Symptoms limit a persons ability to carry out ordinary daily activities. In ICD- 10, disease is known as G93.3, postviral fatigue syndrome. The purpose of this research (doctoral study) is to produce a health psychological group intervention for patients with ME/CFS. Research protocol: 70-80 patients with diagnosis G 93.3. Psychological and psychiatric evaluation for patients (SCID I and parts from SCID II). Depression diagnosis is allowed (on remission). Medication for depression is also allowed. Measurements for ortostatic intolerance (Somnotouch nimbTM) and laboratory measurements: complete blood count, CRP, alkaline phosphatase, GT, ALAT, CK, bilirubin, kidney and thyroid (TSH, T4V) function tests, serum ferritin, glucose, electrolytes and daily urine sodium excretion. Autonomic nervous system ganglio antibodies: Anti-AT1R- Antibodies, Anti- ETAR- Antibodies, anti alpha-1 adrenergic Receptor Antibodies, anti alpha 2 adrenergic Receptor Antibodies, anti beta-1 adrenergic Receptor Antibodies, anti beta-2-adrenergic Receptor Antibodies, anti- Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptor 1 (M1)- Antibodies, anti- Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptor 2 (M2)- Antibodies, anti- Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptor 3 (M3)- Antibodies, anti- Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptor 4 (M4)- Antibodies, anti- Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptor 5 (M5)- Antibodies.
