Post COVID Syndrome or Long COVID: An Overview| Chapter 2 | Current Overview on Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 The all-encompassing pandemic began by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has damaged every chaste worldwide. The novelty concerning this virus, allure mutations and the rapid speed and exceptional rate at which it has torn through the worldwide community has in proper sequence lead to an innate ignorance and information about the real disease provoked and the severity of the complications guide COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has happened infecting individuals because 2019 and now as of 2022 has existed circulating for just over 2 years inside the global various. As the number of cases have risen everywhere over this period (some of that having weakened the virus twice) further endeavours have happened undertaken to better think the pathogenesis and natural progress of the disease. A condition reported in few cases with comprehensive bouts of sickness or syndromes following the initial contamination with COVID was described “long COVID” towards the earlier phases of the universal (in the spring of 2020), but has only recently win the global media and healing attention on account of its disorder of more individuals on a global base and has thus authorized further investigation.It is clearly apparent that a substantial scarcity in information encircling the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its unending effects lies, as a substantial rise in post COVID symptoms and confusions have been stated globally.  The objective concerning this research was to find out the signs and syndromes, treatment, arising therapies and ongoing dispassionate trials of Long COVID.Long COVID is named as a persistent, long-term state of disability following an infection accompanying COVID-19. The effect of Long COVID is multisystemic in nature accompanying a wide array of signs and symptoms.

The use of melatonin in cases suffering from insomnia and weak sleep hygiene is likewise advisable. Currently numerous pharmacotherapeutic powers ranging from Montelukast, Deupirfenidone, Nicotinamide riboside, Leronlimab, Adaptogens, Tocilizumab, Probiotics to HBOT are withstanding clinical tests. It is thus with promising expectancy that these drug troubles will yield a viable definitive situation for Long COVID.
