Brain scan study for Long COVID brain fog
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help relieve brain fog and fatigue in people with long COVID. If you qualify, you would receive several sessions of the stimulation over a few weeks.
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 study tests a non-invasive treatment to help with brain fog caused by long COVID. It may improve your symptoms if you have trouble thinking clearly or focusing.
This trial tests if gentle ultrasound waves to the head can help clear brain fog that lasts after a COVID-19 infection. If you've had COVID and still feel mentally slow or forgetful, this treatment might help your thinking get sharper.
