Dysbiosis and long COVID study
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at gut bacteria changes in people with and without long COVID symptoms after a confirmed COVID infection. It may help find why some people have long-term health problems.
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 trial tests an online self-management program to help people cope with long COVID symptoms in everyday life. It may help if you’re struggling with ongoing symptoms like mood changes, memory/thinking issues, or physical problems after COVID.
This study looks for signs of Long COVID in the blood and gut to better understand the condition. If you have Long COVID or were exposed to the virus without developing it, you may be able to help.
This study compares the blood of people with ongoing long COVID symptoms to healthy people, to look for differences in immune signals and gut bacteria. It could help find better ways to diagnose or treat long COVID.
This study tests whether eating fermented foods (like yogurt, kimchi, or sauerkraut) can improve gut health and ease symptoms in people with long COVID. You'll log your food on your phone and follow a fermented diet for a period of time.
