Summary

The study aims to identify whether a multimodal integrative naturopathy outpatient clinical concept can improve the symptoms of patients suffering from post-COVID-Syndrome. Main outcome is fatigue. The outpatient clinical programme consists of 11 weeks wherein patients visit the clinic one day per week. The pillars of classical naturopathy are combined with extended naturopathy and complementary procedures. Previous naturopathical studies on patients with chronic fatigue syndrome could find numerous indications that different types of naturopathy can help patients with fatigue.
