Long-term health effects after COVID-19
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how COVID-19 may affect the lungs, heart, and kidneys in the months or years after the infection. It compares three groups: people who never had COVID, people who had COVID but recovered without organ problems, and people who had organ problems during COVID. The goal is to understand what long-term complications might arise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how COVID-19 can affect health and quality of life over the long term. It may help researchers understand symptoms that can last and what changes people experience after recovery.
This trial studies people with mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms to better understand and help “post-COVID” condition (ongoing effects after infection). You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a recent confirmed COVID-19 test and you agreed to take part.
This study uses a heart MRI to look for leftover (healing) changes in heart tissue after COVID-19. It may help researchers better understand what ongoing heart effects can happen after infection.
This study follows adults who had COVID-19 to learn how the illness can affect health over the long term. It may help researchers understand lasting symptoms and who is at higher risk, which could improve future care.
This study looks at what health problems remain after a person was hospitalized for COVID-19. It may help doctors understand these long-lasting effects and how to care for people afterward.
