Sleep disorders and fatigue syndrome in long COVID syndrome: case-based experiences from neurological/sleep medicine rehabilitation

Abstract

Sleep disturbances and clinically significant fatigue syndrome are regularly described for long COVID syndrome. The pathophysiological correlations remain unknown. The clinical presentation is variable and must be considered individually. Four case studies will be used to illustrate the symptoms that constitute long COVID syndrome and the treatment options available. Multimodal individualized rehabilitation seems to be suitable to return those affected to their premorbid performance and to achieve a considerable reduction in insomniac complaints.
