Magnetic brain stimulation for lingering COVID symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had COVID-19 and still have symptoms like loss of smell, ringing in the ears, or fatigue for more than 4 weeks.
- You do not have any implanted electronic devices (like a pacemaker or nerve stimulator).
- You have not had a seizure in the last 10 years.
- You do not have metal in your head that cannot be safely removed.
- You are not currently pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

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.
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 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 a non-invasive brain stimulation method called Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) to see if it can help people with lingering post-COVID symptoms like fatigue and brain fog. If you've had COVID-19 and still have symptoms for at least 12 months, this study might be an option for you.
This study tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help people aged 18 to 65 who have ongoing depression or low mood for more than 12 weeks after a confirmed COVID-19 infection. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain involved in mood regulation.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can help relieve long COVID symptoms like muscle pain, breathing problems, or loss of taste or smell. It may be an option if you've had these symptoms for at least 30 days after a COVID-19 infection.
