Health Resort Treatment Mitigates Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Long COVID Patients: A Retrospective Study.
Healthcare (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Physical Medicine, School of Health Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, 40-752 Katowice, Poland.
Background/objectives: Among the neuropsychiatric symptoms of long COVID, the following may be listed: sleep disturbances, headaches, anxiety, depression, dizziness, numbness, memory loss, and concentration difficulties. Various therapies have been implemented to mitigate these symptoms; however, health resort treatments that utilize a wide range of modalities stimulating multidirectional biological reactions may also be effective. The aim of this study was to assess the severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms in long COVID patients who qualified for health resort treatment, evaluate the effectiveness of health resort treatment in this group of patients, and evaluate the effect of balneological factors in the treatment course.

Department of Medical Ecology and Hydroclimatology, İstanbul Faculty of Medicine, İstanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic and the chemical effects of balneological treatment (peloidotherapy + hydrotherapy), and its effects on serum levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Sixty-four (64) knee OA patients were randomly divided into study and control groups. Balneological treatment, consisting of hydrotherapy, and peloidotherapy were given to both groups.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, School of Medicine, Wakayama, Japan.
Objectives: To evaluate acute changes in serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentration following combined endurance exercise and heat stress through head-out water immersion (HOI).
Setting: Observational study with crossover design.
Methods: Ten healthy young male participants performed HOI at 40 °C (40 °C HOI) or continuous cycling at 60% of maximal oxygen uptake while immersed in 40 °C (40 °C HOI-ex) or 23 °C water (23 °C HOI-ex) for 15 min.
Effects of balneological outpatient treatment on clinical parameters and serum cytokine levels in patients with chronic low back pain: a single-blind randomized controlled trial.
Int J Biometeorol
August 2021
Department of Medical Ecology and Hydroclimatology, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University, Fatih, Çapa, Istanbul, Turkey.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of balneological outpatient treatment (hydrotherapy and peloidotherapy) on clinical status and serum cytokine levels in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Seventy-four patients with CLBP who accepted to participate to the study were randomly divided into two groups. The study group was given ten sessions (in 2 weeks) of hydrotherapy, peloidotherapy, and home exercise, while the control group was given only home exercise.
