Effects of therapeutic interventions on long COVID: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Exercise training should be prioritized for improving cardiopulmonary function and
exercise capacity in Long COVID, supported by high-certainty evidence. Respiratory
muscle training and PEA-LUT offer targeted benefits for respiratory strength and anosmia,
while tDCS may address fatigue. Telerehabilitation, as a form of supervision, also
improved the effectiveness of the intervention. In contrast, steroid sprays and olfactory
training lack efficacy, highlighting the need for personalized, symptom-specific approaches.
