Research institution TNO will make the correction on Monday a press release three passages from it report on the treatment of post-covid, which was created by the institute on behalf of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. Post-covid is a complicated syndrome that people can contract after the coronavirus, affecting various systems in the body. The physical illness is diverse and the symptoms can vary greatly from person to person.
After questions from De Volkskrant at the institute, TNO acknowledged that “unfortunate clerical errors” were made and conclusions from the underlying research were “incorrectly” included in the final report. In May became the report sent to the House of Representatives by Sophie Hermans, Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport. Post-covid patients criticized this.
The TNO report stated that rehabilitation programs in combination with combined lifestyle factors appear “promising” for post-covid patients. Examples of lifestyle factors mentioned are cognitive behavioral therapy, nutrition and so-called body-mind therapy. The actual research states that there is “no evidence whatsoever” available for the effectiveness of body-mind therapies.
The evidence for the effect of diet is “limited and fragmented.” Only ‘limited indications’ have also been found for cognitive behavioral therapy.
