RTHM's Take: "This study adds even more compelling evidence that we should be urgently developing and trialing multiple therapies (and combinations of therapies) that could help clear persistent SARS-CoV2 proteins in Long COVID patients to see if doing so can improve symptoms and reduce any elevated markers of neurodegeneration." — Jennifer Curtin, MD, RTHM Co-Founder

Here is the conclusion of our rapid response: we need serious, well-designed and ambitious clinical trials that target the mechanisms which have already been shown to dysfunction in people with Long COVID
The real lesson from Zeraatkar et al’s review work is not that GET and CBT are probably effective for Long COVID, but that five years into the crisis, a mere 24 clinical trials have published results for a condition which affects 400 million people worldwide (8), of which only 4 studied drug interventions. Long COVID research should learn from the mistakes of ME research, and swerve away from an inexplicable focus on rehabilitative approaches to the production of well-designed and ambitious trials (9) into therapeutics that target the immune dysfunction, persistent pathogens, vascular abnormalities, and mitochondrial dysfunction that have been shown to underlie Long COVID symptomatology (10,11).
