Alongside biological mechanisms, psychosocial processes can contribute to symptom persistence. Psychotherapeutic interventions could be beneficial in symptom reduction. However, evidence of group-based psychotherapies tailored to Post-COVID-19 condition (PCS) remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In this randomized waitlist-controlled crossover study in an outpatient psychosomatic setting, adults with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and persisting functionally impairing symptoms were randomized to immediate group psychotherapeutic treatment (intervention group, IG) or treatment as usual with delayed group treatment (control\/waitlist group, CG). The intervention comprised 10 bi-weekly manual-guided group sessions (50\u00a0min) covering psychoeducation, somatic symptom processing, emotional regulation, and social reintegration. Primary outcome was somatic symptom burden (SSS-8). Secondary outcomes were depressive symptoms (PHQ-9) and anxiety symptoms (GAD-7). Childhood maltreatment (CTS) was examined as a moderator. Efficacy in the randomized phase was tested using ANCOVA comparing post-treatment outcomes in the IG with post-waiting outcomes in the CG, adjusted for baseline severity. Three-month follow-up assessments were analyzed descriptively and exploratorily.

Future psychotherapeutic group interventions for patients with PCS have to consider outcome measures beyond severity of persistent physical symptoms rather than evaluating global symptom scores. Group-based psychotherapeutic approaches might benefit from flexibility in adaptation for individual patients\u2019 needs. Stratification by baseline severity and dominant symptom profiles (e.g., fatigue severity, trauma history) may improve sensitivity to clinically meaningful change.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Trial registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Trial registration: DRKS German Clinical Trials Register DRKS00040598, registered on 12th June 2026.
