Brain Fog Treatment for ME/CFS Using Cognitive Training
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a computerized cognitive training program combined with a mild electrical nerve stimulation device (worn on the ear) can help improve thinking and memory problems in people with ME/CFS. The goal is to see if this approach helps with brain fog and daily functioning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a computer-based cognitive training program combined with a gentle nerve stimulation device to see if it can improve brain fog and daily functioning in people with long COVID. If you're struggling with thinking, memory, or concentration after COVID, this might 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 study tests whether a small device that stimulates a nerve in your ear (combined with computerized brain exercises) can help improve memory, attention, and thinking abilities in adults experiencing cognitive changes. You'll use the device at home with an app on your phone or tablet.
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 studies whether a computer-based brain training program can help thinking skills in older adults. It is designed for people who are generally healthy and have not received similar training before.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
