This study is investigating the effects of using an Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) treatment protocol that was shown to statistically improve smell in individuals suffering from Long-COVID olfactory (smell) dysfunction in a small single-blinded pilot trial conducted during 2021. The questions this study is trying to answer are: 1. Does this OMT protocol improve other non-smell related Long-COVID symptoms 2. Do 2 OMT treatments improve Long-COVID symptoms more than 1 OMT treatment Participants will: 1. Week 1: Take an digital survey regarding their Long-COVID symptoms undergo Long-COVID OMT treatment or a placebo treatment 2. Week 2: Take an digital survey regarding their Long-COVID symptoms then all will undergo Long-COVID OMT treatment 3. Week 3: Take an digital survey regarding their Long-COVID symptoms 4. Week 8: Take an digital survey regarding their Long-COVID symptoms
Primary Outcome
The Symptom Burden Questionnaire™ for Long COVID (SBQ™-LC) is a validated tool generated to assess for Long-COVID symptom burden generated by the University of Birmingham in the UK. The SBQ™-LC assesses 123 different symptoms of Long COVID. All items use the recall period "In the last 7 days..." and are scored according to one of the following: 1. symptom presence (Yes/No); 2. symptom frequency (0 = Never to 3 = Always); 3. symptom severity (0 = None to 3 = Severe); 4. or Interference in daily
