Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to test a treatment known as Cognitive Muscular Therapy CMT for reducing breathlessness and improving autonomic function in patients with long-COVID
Detailed Description:
A key symptom of long-COVID is dysfunctional breathing characterised by an alteration in the muscular and mechanical control of breathing such as altered movementcoordination of diaphragm and ribs Long-COVID patients also experience symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue which have been linked to dysautonomia dysfunction of the nervous system controlling automatic body functions Importantly dysautonomia is connected to alterations in breathing mechanics Specifically rapid breathing high in the chest is associated with increased activity in the fight-or-flight system and decreased activity in the rest-and-repair system Given this link interventions capable of improving breathing mechanics could alleviate many long-COVID symptoms However current breathing retraining methods lack visualisation of breathing mechanics and do not integrate a whole-body approach to improving postural control
We have developed a clinical system which can visualise breathing mechanics in real-time providing patients with a window into their body We propose to integrate this system within a new intervention known as Cognitive Muscular Therapy CMT CMT integrates psychological informed physiotherapy with training to reduce overactivation of postural muscles which can interfere with the mechanics of breathing We propose to test this combined intervention on 20 people with Long-COVD to understand if we can improve respiratory function and symptoms associated with dysautonomia If successful this pilot study could pave the way for large-scale studies in long-COVID
