Brain stimulation for long covid brain fog and fatigue
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if it can ease long COVID symptoms like brain fog and fatigue. You will receive either the real stimulation or a sham (inactive) treatment to compare effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to see if it can reduce persistent headaches and chronic pain in people with long covid. If you have ongoing pain after a confirmed covid infection, this could offer a new way to find relief.
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 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.
