Brain Imaging Study for Long-COVID Symptoms
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET scanner to look for inflammation in the brains of people with long-COVID (ongoing symptoms after COVID-19 infection). The scan may help doctors understand what's causing long-COVID and develop better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had confirmed COVID-19 infection and have been seen at Mayo Clinic's Post-COVID or Integrative Medicine clinic
- You can fully participate in all study visits and procedures
- You understand the study and can sign informed consent
- If you can become pregnant, you must use reliable birth control during the study
- You don't have metal implants (like pacemakers or certain joint replacements) that would prevent PET scanning
- You are comfortable in enclosed spaces (the PET scanner is a tube-like machine)

This trial studies how your immune system responds in people with Long COVID after a past COVID-19 infection. It may help researchers understand why symptoms linger and how the body’s response could be targeted.
This study checks how COVID affected people’s health and brain changes using follow-up information and brain scans. It may help researchers understand longer-term effects and what to watch for after COVID, especially in people with mild or moderate illness.
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 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 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.
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.
