This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing whether acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help people with Long COVID feel better. You would receive either acupuncture treatments alone or acupuncture combined with herbal supplements over 8 weeks. The researchers want to learn if this approach is practical, acceptable to patients, and actually helps improve Long COVID symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and body pain.
There is currently no single proven treatment for Long COVID, and many patients struggle with multiple symptoms at once that are hard to manage with regular medications. This study explores whether acupuncture and herbs could offer Long COVID patients an additional treatment option that addresses several symptoms at the same time.

You would come to the clinic twice a week for 8 weeks to receive acupuncture treatment (each session lasts 30 minutes). Depending on which group you are assigned to, you might also take Chinese herbal supplements at home during this time. After the 8 weeks of treatment end, you would have one follow-up visit at 12 weeks to see how you are doing. The researchers will ask you questions and take measurements to see if your Long COVID symptoms have improved.
