“Dyspnoea in PCF is characterised by reduced respiratory muscle strength and complex ventilatory dysfunction indicating neuromuscular disturbance as a distinct phenotype among patients with post-COVID-19 condition. These observations could be a starting point for developing personalised rehabilitation concepts.”

Bovhyaluronidase azoximer for long-term pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Bovhyaluronidase azoximer for long-term pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

bovhyaluronidase azoximer improved exercise tolerance and reduced breathlessness in post-COVID-19 patients.

Faster lung recovery was noted in those with cardiovascular issues after 180 days.

Arthritis medications could reverse COVID lung damage
Arthritis medications could reverse COVID lung damage

“Arthritis drugs already available for prescription have the potential to halt lingering lung problems that can last months or years after COVID-19 infections, new research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine and Cedars-Sinai suggests.

By examining damaged human lungs and developing an innovative new lab model, the scientists identified faulty immune processes responsible for the ongoing lung issues that plague an increasing number of people after they've otherwise recovered from COVID-19. These lasting harms of COVID infection, known as ‘post-infection lung fibrosis,’ have no good treatments. The new research, however, suggests that existing drugs such as baricitinib and anakinra can disrupt the malfunctioning immune response and finally allow damaged lungs to heal.”
