Long COVID brain effects in children
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at brain and nerve problems in children and teens who had COVID-19. It uses brain scans and other tests to understand long-lasting symptoms like headaches, tiredness, memory issues, or dizziness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 years and 16 years and 11 months old.
- Your child had a confirmed COVID-19 infection at least 3 months ago.

This study looks at how long “long COVID” affects children over time. It may help doctors better understand what symptoms last and what support could improve recovery.
This study looks at what long-term health effects children may have after getting COVID-19, and how those effects change over time. You may be asked to share health information and possibly complete a scan that can’t be done if certain metal is present.
This trial studies people who had COVID-19 to understand why some develop long-term symptoms while others recover fully. It aims to find links between the immune system and brain changes using imaging.
This trial uses brain scans to understand why people with long COVID feel very tired or have trouble thinking clearly. It could help find new treatments for these symptoms.
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 study uses a special PET scan to look at brain inflammation in people with neurological symptoms after COVID-19. It aims to understand how inflammation might be linked to ongoing problems like brain fog or memory issues.
