Analysis of post COVID-19 condition and its overlap with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome

Improved Functioning and Activity According to the International Classification of Functioning and Disability after Multidisciplinary Telerehabilitation for Post-COVID-19 Condition—A Randomized Control Study

“…The results are in line with a recent prospective study of 548 participants reporting only 7.6% recovery almost 2 years after the infection [23]. Growing evidence indicate similarities between post-COVID-19 condition and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) [24,25]. Reports suggest applying knowledge within ME/CFS for post-COVID-19 condition [26].…”

Long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalitis share similar pathophysiologic mechanisms of exercise limitation

“…The similarities between PASC and CFS/ME have previously been reported (Sukocheva et al., 2022 ). These studies highlight the similarities in oxygen extraction/utilization as indicated by a reduced arterio‐venous O 2 content difference and impaired systemic O 2 extraction in both conditions (Joseph et al., 2021 ; Singh et al., 2021 ; Vermeulen & Vermeulen van Eck, 2014 ).…”

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Long COVID: prevalence and impact on health-related quality of life and health status. A cross-sectional study. BioICOPER study

“…These observations align with other studies in CFS populations that indicate that co-occurring pain conditions are associated with worse pain metrics and poorer functioning, including lower SF-36 Bodily Pain scores, reinforcing the plausibility of pain amplification within the CFS spectrum [67,68]. The greater pain burden observed in LC-CFS overlap patients may reflect shared mechanisms of central sensitization, autonomic dysfunction, and neuroinflammation previously described in CFS populations [19,23,59].…”
