Thermotherapy for mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether local heat treatment (thermotherapy) can improve outcomes for people with mild to moderate COVID-19. It’s designed for people early in their illness (within 5 days) who still have good oxygen levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COVID-19 symptoms, like fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, shortness of breath, loss of smell, tiredness, diarrhea, vomiting, or pink eye.
- Your illness is mild or moderate—your oxygen level must be at least 94% (or 90% in Mexico City/Guadalajara) while breathing room air or with limited extra oxygen.
- Your symptoms started 5 days ago or less.
- You understand the study and agree to be randomly assigned to a treatment group.

This trial tests whether an essential oil-based preparation is safe and effective for adults with mild to moderate COVID-19. It could be an option if you are not severely ill and are not taking other COVID treatments.
This trial tests a combination of two traditional Chinese herbal formulas (Yinqiaosan and Maxingganshitang) to see if they can help people with mild to moderate COVID-19 recover faster. It's for adults who have had symptoms for no more than 3 days and have been diagnosed with a specific Chinese medicine pattern.
This trial tests whether Codivir can help people hospitalized with moderate COVID-19 recover better than a placebo (inactive pill). It will compare outcomes while participants receive standard hospital care.
This study tests whether heat therapy (like using a heated blanket or suit) can help people who still feel tired or weak months after COVID-19. It may improve your physical function and make daily activities easier.
This trial tests whether regular sauna sessions using infrared heat can reduce fatigue from long COVID. You may be eligible if you have ongoing fatigue after a confirmed or strongly suspected COVID infection and can safely spend time lying in a sauna.
