Months after an acute infection, millions of people still experience fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, palpitations or joint pain. This condition — long COVID or post-COVID syndrome — is believed to involve persistent immune activation and inflammation.
Why the immune system matters
Studies suggest that in some patients the immune system does not fully “switch off” after the infection. Immunomodulatory approaches aim to help rebalance this response.
How cell-based immunotherapy is being studied
Mesenchymal stem cells and other immunomodulatory therapies are being researched for their ability to reduce inflammatory signaling. Evidence is still emerging, and treatment should always be individualized and medically supervised.
Before considering treatment
- Get a complete medical workup to rule out other causes.
- Bring recent labs: CBC, inflammatory markers, D-dimer and others your doctor recommends.
- Keep a symptom diary to measure changes objectively.
