Brain scan for inflammation in post-covid syndrome
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for signs of inflammation in the brain that may be linked to long-lasting symptoms after COVID-19. The scan is a type of imaging that helps doctors see if there is ongoing inflammation, which could guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special type of magnetic stimulation (called TMS) can help with lingering symptoms after COVID-19, such as loss of smell, ringing in the ears, or fatigue. The treatment is safe and non-invasive, using a magnet placed near your head.
This Phase 2 study tests whether targeting “neuroinflammation” (inflammation in the brain) can help in Alzheimer’s disease and related memory disorders. You may help researchers by doing several brain scans (including a special PET/CT scan) along with MRI and amyloid imaging to understand what’s happening in the brain.
This trial compares scan results in people with multiple sclerosis or related demyelinating conditions versus people without inflammatory demyelinating diseases. The goal is to better understand what’s happening in the brain and how sex differences may play a role.
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 early-phase study uses a special PET scan to look for signs of brain inflammation in people with ongoing (long-term) nervous system symptoms after COVID-19. It may help researchers understand what is driving symptoms and whether this imaging approach can detect inflammation.
This study uses a special PET scan to look at inflammation in the body of people with long COVID (symptoms lasting 3+ months after infection). The goal is to understand why symptoms persist and find better ways to help.
