ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called graphene photothermal adjuvant therapy for people with mild COVID-19 symptoms. The goal is to see if this therapy can help patients recover faster and test negative for the virus sooner than those receiving standard treatment alone. Participants in the study will be divided into two groups: one group will receive the new graphene therapy along with regular care, while the other group will only receive the usual treatment. Each participant in the treatment group will undergo 30 minutes of the graphene therapy each day for a week.
To be eligible for this trial, participants must be between 18 and 60 years old, have mild COVID-19 symptoms, and have tested positive for the virus within the last 48 hours. However, those with severe COVID-19, certain heart or lung conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, or other serious health issues cannot join. Pregnant women and those with specific infections will also be excluded. If you are interested in participating, you can expect to receive either the new therapy or standard care while helping researchers learn more about this potential treatment for COVID-19.
