Long COVID and cell energy study
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how cells make energy in people with Long COVID compared to people who fully recovered. It involves a blood draw, a small muscle sample, and a skin biopsy to understand why symptoms last.
