The new research is the longest follow-up study of the neurological symptoms among long Covid patients.
Most neurological symptoms persisted after an average of 15 months, the study found. While most patients did report improvements in theirand fatigue, the symptoms had not gone away completely and still affected their quality of life.
The Northwestern study did not look at why some of the symptoms persist and others fade away or why they occur in the first place. “Covid is probably the most severe respiratory illness we have ever had, so it’s no surprise that we are seeing long-term effects from it,” Nath said. “Right now we need time to distinguish between the two groups,” he said. “Patients have to just wait, and that’s really frustrating. But if we had biomarkers to test, we could identify long Covid and intervene early.”The search for biomarkers, however, has yielded no results so far., researchers from another branch of the NIH — the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — carried out comprehensive medical exams on 189 long Covid patients.
