ABSTRACT
COVID-19 infection results in an unrestrained inflammatory reaction in serious cases. The autonomic nervous system (ANS), in particular the parasympathetic branch, helps to regulate the inflammatory response. A dysfunction of this branch, frequent in people at risk of developing COVID-19, favours a pro-inflammatory effect. Reinforcing and stimulating the parasympathetic ANS is possible and accessible to paramedical and medical professionals.
