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 trial studies how gut bacteria (“gut flora”) may affect COVID-19 after a recent infection. If you test positive for COVID-19 soon enough, the study may help researchers understand why some people get better faster or have different symptoms.
This trial studies how your immune system responds in people with Long COVID after a past COVID-19 infection. It may help researchers understand why symptoms linger and how the body’s response could be targeted.
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 uses a special PET scanner to look for inflammation in the brains of people with long-COVID (ongoing symptoms after COVID-19 infection). The scan may help doctors understand what's causing long-COVID and develop better treatments.
