Diagnostische Überlegungen und therapeutische Ansätze zu PostCOVID-19 mit Chinesischer Medizin

The author gives an overview of the possible treatments offered by Chinese Medicine for Long COVID, Post COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis. First of all, she gives the different clinical definitions of the three disorders, distinguishes clearly between them and explores their respective epidemiology; she then examines possible pathomechanisms from the Chinese-Medicine perspective. The last part of the article provides an overview of the studies focusing on the use of acupuncture/moxibustion, acupressure, qigong and Chinese phytotherapy in the treatment of these three conditions.
