Persistent neuromuscular disorders associated with changes in tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius lateralis muscle architecture in long-covid: an observational longitudinal study
Persistent neuromuscular disorders associated with changes in tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius lateralis muscle architecture in long-covid: an observational longitudinal study

A new Scientific Reports study found persistent nerve and muscle damage in long COVID — especially in the tibialis anterior (shin) and calf muscles. Over a year, patients with severe COVID showed abnormal nerve excitability and degraded muscle structure, consistent with polyneuromyopathy. This isn’t just “deconditioning.” It’s measurable neuromuscular injury.

“Post-COVID dysautonomia has emerged as a prominent and debilitating manifestation of Long COVID, characterized by a wide spectrum of autonomic dysfunctions including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), orthostatic hypotension, and gastrointestinal dysmotility.’”

SARS-CoV-2 and the nervous system: current perspectives
“In this review, we highlight the literature focusing on clinical observations that suggest associations between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the nervous system. We also discuss the different mechanisms of neural injury that lead to various complications. Knowledge about the possible neurological manifestations of COVID-19 is vital for physicians to recognize, treat, and manage complications of the nervous system.”

Vagus nerve inflammation contributes to dysautonomia in COVID-19
Vagus nerve inflammation contributes to dysautonomia in COVID-19

SARS-CoV-2 can induce vagus nerve inflammation followed by autonomic dysfunction.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA and inflammatory cell infiltration were found in the vagus nerves of COVID-19 patients, suggesting a link to autonomic dysfunction.
