The U.S. government is rolling out a massive study of long COVID in an effort to understand the mysterious condition. However, critics say the study's rollout is moving too slowly.
A Doctor Shares the One Stretch He Does Every Day to Prevent Lower Back Pain: ‘Ease Your Flare-Ups'The Recover study aims to complete enrollment of more than 17,000 adults by September and 20,000 children by the end of the year, according to Dr. Stuart Katz, who is coordinating the nationwide rollout of the Recover study at its central hub at New York University Langone Health. The study will have research teams at more than 30 universities and medical institutions across the U.S.
"These are exploratory with companies that have agents that may go before the FDA for approval," Gibbons said."There's an interest both for public-private collaboration in this space and and we're very hopeful that something will emerge in the next several months." "Everyone's immune system is different, so everyone's going to respond to a novel virus in a different way," said David Putrino, a physiotherapist and director of rehabilitation innovation at Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. Putrino has helped treat long Covid patients since the early days of the pandemic in 2020. Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine is one the institutions participating in Recover.
People who survived the virus were twice as likely to develop respiratory conditions or a pulmonary embolism, according to the CDC study. The authors said long Covid can impair a person's ability to work which could have economic consequences for their families. The scientists aim to identify clusters of symptoms associated with various abnormalities in the lab tests and uncover the mechanisms in the body causing those symptoms through advanced imaging, Katz said. Abnormalities found in lab tests, blood samples for example, that are associated with long Covid could serve as the basis for future diagnostic tests, he said.
"You'll be able to access a lot of data, lots of samples on patients that otherwise I can't do from my own site. It will take me obviously a lot of time and a lot of resources that I don't have," McComsey said."The huge amount of data and a huge amount of patients. I think it's definitely a big plus in Recover."However, the pace of the federal government's efforts to address the long-term health impact of Covid has come under criticism.
Although Recover will follow participants for four years, researchers will publish their findings throughout the duration of study, Katz said. The first report, based on the initial assessment of participants, should publish shortly after enrollment is complete, he said.
