Validation of the Vienna Post-Exertional Malaise Assessment Questionnaire (V-PEM-AQ) Dr. Ali Kapan and colleagues from the University of Vienna are working on a new questionnaire on post-exertional malaise (PEM). In this second phase of the project, they aim to evaluate how reliably and validly the questionnaire captures PEM and how it compares to existing assessment instruments. They are looking for participants to validate the questionnaire in English and German.

UK BMA and RCN ask Government to recognise Long COVID as an occupational disease Unions representing Doctors and Nurses in the UK are asking the government to recognise the long term impacts of COVID-19 on health and care workers. “The UK Government needs to act quickly and provide support now to the many doctors and nursing staff, and their families, who have suffered significant financial losses as a result of contracting COVID-19 in the workplace and then developing Long COVID.”

What Can We Learn Four Years On? A Multi-Centre Service Evaluation Exploring Symptoms, Functional Impact, Recovery and Care Pathways in Long Covid — Cassie Lee et al. "The persistent clinical and socio‐economic burden of LC is clear, with only 20.8% of participants working at pre‐infection capacity. Policymakers and service leaders should act to close the gap between LC service provision and patient need. There is a critical window of opportunity for ICBs to redesign services in collaboration with and informed by the patients' voice"

News Release 6-Nov-2025 COVID-19 vaccination lowers long COVID risk in adolescents Peer-Reviewed Publication Columbia University Irving Medical Center FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail Nov. 6, 2025--Adolescents who were vaccinated against COVID-19 were less likely to develop long COVID after their first SARS-CoV-2 infection than unvaccinated peers, finds a new study. The study, led by the NIH-funded RECOVER Initiative, is the first to examine the potential benefits of COVID vaccination in adolescents beyond lowering the severity of initial COVID symptoms. “These findings provide evidence that COVID vaccination has an important secondary effect in helping to mitigate the risk of long COVID in adolescents,” says Melissa Stockwell, a pediatrician at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and clinical senior author of the study.

Hospital Guidance: Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) - Care Requirements CLINICAL WARNING: When the patient is in PEM, any extra activity (sitting up, walking, answering questions) can worsen symptoms, reset recovery, and accelerate long-term decline. Strict protection of rest is required. Overnight Care Guidance Lighting and Noise: Keep the room dark and silent overnight. Avoid unnecessary door openings. Use minimal light if checks are required. Sleep Protection: Do not wake for routine observations unless clinically essential. Cluster any checks to reduce disturbance. Environment: Ensure call bell, water, and medications are within reach before settling for the night. Communication: Avoid questions or conversation if the patient wakes. Speak quietly and keep interactions minimal. Escalation: If pain, tachycardia, or instability occurs, respond calmly, minimise sensory exposure, and escalate as clinically indicated. Documentation: Overnight staff should record sleep protection strategies and PEM episode status at shift start and end. Personal Care - Showering and Hygiene Daily shower prompts are not required. Please be guided by the patient as to when capacity allows. General Principle: Patient will indicate readiness for washing or showering. No need to prompt daily. Frequency: Showering may be limited to once a week or less during severe PEM. Over-exertion can worsen symptoms. Alternatives: Patient may use wet wipes or gentle seated wash in lieu of shower as tolerated.
