Some individuals infected with SARS CoV-2 have developed Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS CoV-2 infection (PASC) or what has been referred to as Long COVID. Efforts are underway to find effective treatment strategies for those with Long COVID. One possible approach involves alternative medical interventions, which have been widely used to treat and manage symptoms of a variety of medical problems including post-viral infections. Meditation has been found to reduce fatigue and unrefreshing sleep, and for those with post-viral infections, it has enhanced immunity, and reduced inflammatory-driven pathogenesis. Our article summarizes the literature on what is known about mindfulness meditation interventions, and reviews evidence on how it may apply to those with Long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Evidence is reviewed suggesting effective and sustainable outcomes may be achieved for symptomatology and underlying pathology of post-viral fatigue (PASC and ME/CFS).
一些感染了严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）的个体出现了新冠后遗症（PASC），即所谓的“长新冠”。目前正在努力寻找针对“长新冠”患者的有效治疗策略。一种可能的方法是采用替代医学干预措施，这些措施已被广泛用于治疗和管理包括病毒感染后在内的各种医疗问题的症状。冥想已被发现可以减轻疲劳和改善睡眠质量，对于病毒感染后的患者，它还可以增强免疫力，并减少炎症驱动的发病机制。我们的文章总结了关于正念冥想干预措施的已知文献，并回顾了其如何应用于“长新冠”患者和肌痛性脑脊髓炎/慢性疲劳综合征（ME/CFS）患者的证据。经审查的证据表明，对于病毒感染后疲劳（PASC和ME/CFS）的症状和潜在病理，可能会取得有效且可持续的治疗效果。
