This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a mindfulness-based intervention—an 8-week online program of guided mindfulness sessions—can help reduce stress and ease symptoms in people living with long COVID. Mindfulness teaches you to focus on the present moment without judgment, and research suggests it may help reduce physical and emotional stress that can trigger long COVID flares. The program was designed specifically for people with long COVID and is delivered entirely online.
Long COVID often comes with significant physical and emotional stress, which can make symptoms worse. While mindfulness-based programs have shown promise in other conditions, researchers want to see whether this treatment can truly help people with long COVID feel better and improve their quality of life.

You will join one of two groups. One group starts the 8-week mindfulness program right away, while the other group waits 8 weeks before starting (but continues their usual medical care in the meantime). Either way, you'll complete four online surveys over 6 months to track how you're feeling. All activities happen online—there are no in-person clinic visits.
