The clinical similarities between LongCovid and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) support the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause ME/CFS symptoms – reports a study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine.
Patients with long-COVID often complain of continuous fatigue, myalgia, sleep problems, cognitive dysfunction, and post-exertional malaise. No data are available on EMG recording of evoked myopotentials or exercise-induced alterations in long-COVID patients, providing evidence of muscle membrane fatigue. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome develops in more than half of patients after an infectious disease, particularly viral diseases.
All of these patients underwent the same protocol consisting of a questionnaire focusing on neural and neuromuscular disorders and M-wave recording in the rectus femoris muscle before, during, and 10 min after a progressive cycling exercise. Maximal handgrip strength and maximal exercise power were also measured. The frequency of symptoms and magnitude of M-wave changes in the two groups were compared using non-parametric and parametric tests.
