Meditation has been found to reduce fatigue and unrefreshing sleep, and for those with post-viral infections, it has improved immunity and reduced inflammation-driven pathogenesis. Our article summarises the literature on what is known about mindfulness meditation interventions, and reviews the evidence on how it can be applied to those with Prolonged COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Evidence is reviewed suggesting that effective and sustainable outcomes can be achieved for the symptomatology and underlying pathology of post-viral fatigue (PASC and ME/CFS).

This review evaluates the effectiveness of MBIs on five disorders prevalent during the pandemic, namely depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia and persistent COVID. This is achieved by selecting and examining seven studies that include various types of online randomised controlled trials and use control group outcomes to assess effectiveness. The findings reveal a significant impact of MBIs on general malaise disorder, which encompasses symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, with effectiveness ranging from 20.5% to 68.8%.

A total of 14 randomised clinical trials with 1195 participants were included in this review. The study findings demonstrated that CAM interventions could benefit patients with persistent COVID, especially those suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders, olfactory dysfunction, cognitive impairment, fatigue, shortness of breath and mild to moderate pulmonary fibrosis. CAM interventions can be effective, safe and acceptable for patients with symptoms of persistent COVID.
