Brain stimulation for long COVID brain fog and fatigue
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with long COVID (symptoms lasting at least 3 months after COVID-19 infection).
- You have ongoing fatigue or brain fog (trouble thinking, memory, or concentration) because of long COVID.
- You do not have a pacemaker, metal implant in your head, or history of seizures.
- You did not have chronic fatigue or memory problems from another condition before COVID.
- You are not pregnant and do not have severe mental illness, substance abuse, or active cancer treatment.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 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 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.
