Non-invasive brain stimulation for long COVID symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle electrical or magnetic pulses on the head can help relieve long-lasting COVID-19 symptoms like muscle pain, breathing issues, or changes in taste and smell. It aims to see if this treatment can improve these symptoms in people who have had COVID-19.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special type of magnetic stimulation (called TMS) can help with lingering symptoms after COVID-19, such as loss of smell, ringing in the ears, or fatigue. The treatment is safe and non-invasive, using a magnet placed near your head.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to see if it can reduce persistent headaches and chronic pain in people with long covid. If you have ongoing pain after a confirmed covid infection, this could offer a new way to find relief.
This trial studies if brain scans can help understand 'brain fog' in Long COVID. It also looks at how a gentle magnetic stimulation might affect symptoms. If you have ongoing thinking problems after COVID, this study may help find new ways to help.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain treatment called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help with the severe fatigue and brain fog that often come with long COVID. You would need to be able to come to the hospital for multiple treatment sessions.
This trial tests if gentle hands-on treatment (osteopathic manipulative therapy) can help relieve long-lasting COVID symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and body pain.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if it can ease long COVID symptoms like brain fog and fatigue. You will receive either the real stimulation or a sham (inactive) treatment to compare effects.
