Brain stimulation for long COVID fatigue and brain fog
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of long COVID.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You experience severe tiredness (fatigue) that affects your daily life.
- You have significant concentration or memory problems.
- You are willing and able to visit the hospital regularly for 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 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 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.
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 trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method (repetitive magnetic pulses) to see if it can reduce fatigue that continues long after a stroke. It may help people whose stroke fatigue has lasted more than six months and who can safely undergo repeated sessions.
