Abstract

The corona pandemic had a massive impact on the health of billions of people worldwide and often affects patients even after the acute phase has subsided as long-/post-covid syndrome (LPCS). The aim of this survey study was to present the experiences of skilled osteopaths in the treatment of patients with LPCS in Germany and to compare the results with the current state of science. The study was conducted in spring 2022 as an online questionnaire. A total of 29 questions with open and closed as well as demographic, qualitative and quantitative character were used. 273 people took part in the study. There were 41 drop-outs, thus 232 data sets were evaluated. 188 people completed the entire study, 44 people have discontinued the survey in the meantime.The results of this survey study correlate with the scientific knowledge about LPCS. Individually different therapies adapted to the abilities, symptoms and pathologies of the patients seem to be particularly promising in LPCS. However, the participants‘ statements cannot be verified beyond doubt, so that the results are only used in a limited way and should be verified by randomised controlled trials with individual techniques selected according to the patients‘ needs.
