A Potential Therapeutic Approach According to Traditional Thai Medicine Theory for Post-COVID-19 Syndrome Treatment : An Observational Retrospective Clinical Study
Background: Most post-COVID-19 patients had physiological health problems, which differed for each patient. The potential treatment for post-COVID-19 syndrome must require multi-disciplinary approaches that focus on individualized treatment. Therefore, traditional Thai Medicine (TTM) clinical practice guidelines for post-COVID-19 treatment are developed by the Traditional Thai Medicine Hospital, Prince of Songkla University, to care for post-COVID-19 patients.
Objective: This current study aimed to investigate the effect of the guidelines on post-COVID-19 patient's physical health.
Methods: This research was a retrospective clinical study, carried out from June 2022 to July 2022.
Setting: The study was conducted at the Traditional Thai Medicine Hospital, Prince of Songkla University, and La Flora Khao Lak TTM clinic, Thailand.
Participants: Data (n=17) were collected from the medical record. They were included if they met the following criteria: patients were more than 18 years old, had a medical history of COVID-19 disease, had fully recovered from the disease (ATK for COVID-19 is negative) at least a week before starting the guideline, and had complete medical information such as post-COVID-19 symptoms, vital signs, pain score, cough severity score, and quality of life examination.
Intervention: Approaches for post-COVID-19 treatment included herbal Thai medicine recipes, Thai massage, herbal steam inhalation, herbal hot steam, herbal hot water immersion, acupressure massage for breathing stimulation, and a breathing exercise. All procedures were applied for 7 days continually or until they have recovered.
Primary Outcome Measures: The effects of TTM approaches on the symptoms of post-COVID-19 patients on pain score, quality of life, cough severity were measured using a visual analog score (VAS), SF-36 questionnaire, and cough severity index (CSI), respectively.
Results: The average duration time of post-COVID-19 syndrome was 25.76 days, and the most common symptom was muscle pain/stress (10; 71.43%). Yahom-Navakot (6; 42.86%) is the most common recipe used for the treatment. Interestingly, the pain score was significantly reduced by 3 days of the treatment (4.88±2.03 vs 2.29±2.08 ). Moreover, the cough severity index (12.86±11.55 vs 3.31±6.38) was significantly lessened by 7 days of the treatment. Remarkably, most symptoms vanished entirely after 7 days of the intervention, leading to a better quality of life for the patients (53.24±22.15 vs 65.59±23.64).
Conclusions: The TTM clinical practice guideline for treating post-COVID-19 syndrome effectively improved the overall physical health capacity and symptoms associated with post-COVID-19 syndrome. Therefore, the implementation of this guideline, together with other approaches, could strengthen the treatment for post-COVID-19 to be more effective.
