A specific formula of probiotics and bacteria was found to improve fatigue and other symptoms in people with Long COVID. Researchers shared the abstract, which has not been published yet, at the Digestive Disease Week meeting in Chicago, Illinois.

The written memorials of over 500 people who had myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) were analyzed in a new study in PLoS One. Researchers found themes of clinical neglect and broad institutional failure, among others.

A new RECOVER study found that Long COVID significantly impacts the development of children with the disease. The study was published in Academic Pediatrics and included nearly 2,000 children.

A new report found that Long COVID may cost OECD international economies over $135 billion per year over the next decade. And even this number may be an undercount, the authors stated.

A clinical trial for non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation failed in improving fatigue in Long COVID. 45 participants used a specific transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) device, or a sham (placebo), during the four-week trial.

The heart failure drug Ivabradine did not significantly improve symptoms for people with Long COVID and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), according to preliminary results that RECOVER researchers recently shared at a conference.

Clinicians and people with Long COVID gathered in Santa Barbara, California, in late March for a forum on advancing clinical care in infection-associated chronic conditions.

More than 150,000 deaths from COVID-19 went uncounted in the U.S. in the first two years of the pandemic, according to a new study in Science Advances. Researchers used machine learning to evaluate death certificates from March 2020 to December 2021, and estimated that 19% more COVID-19 deaths occurred than originally reported.
