Mindfulness programs reduce psychological and physical symptoms as well as inflammatory gene expression in a variety of medical conditions. The study aim was to evaluate the effect of a six-week mindfulness program in women with Long COVID dysautonomia symptoms.<h4>Methods</h4>Using a single arm, pre- and posttest design, women aged 18-54 years with Long COVID and orthostatic intolerance suggestive of dysautonomia were recruited from a single center. Participants attended a standardized, six-week, virtual mindfulness program. An active stand test and 6-min walk test (6MWT) were performed at baseline and post-intervention.
