Summary

This study tested whether a 6-week personalized day-hospital program could improve quality of life for 80 people with persistent long COVID symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and brain fog. The program included group education, tailored exercise, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Researchers compared this to usual care (a waiting list) to see if the structured approach made a difference.
