Having lived in the current era, especially in the Western World, it would be unlikely that either you or someone you know would not have been affected by COVID-19. And due to the exposure to social media, you would also have come across several different potential treatment options for this troublesome disease.
A clinical study has explored the possibility of using low-dose radiation therapy for treating COVID-19 patients.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world to a standstill, and medical researchers have been working tirelessly to find effective treatments for the virus. This disease has affected millions of people worldwide and caused the demise of thousands.
Additionally, it has wreaked havoc on the world economy and health infrastructure. Many different treatment options have emerged during the past 3 years in an attempt to subdue this disease. Low-dose radiation therapy has been proposed as another viable option but the clinical data justifying its use is scanty. The therapy involves exposing patients to a low dose of radiation, which is not harmful to the body. The therapy is safe and does not cause any significant damage to healthy tissues.
In a clinical study, researchers conducted a review of low-dose radiation therapy in COVID-19 patients worldwide. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of low-dose radiation therapy in treating COVID-19 patients.
The clinical study was an analysis of previously conducted clinical trials. It involved 61 participants from several countries. These COVID-19 patients were exposed to low-dose radiotherapy for treatment of their COVID-19 infection.
