ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new, non-invasive way to help people who are experiencing "brain fog" related to Long COVID, which is a condition some people develop after recovering from COVID-19. The study will examine how different levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body may affect the brain and cognitive function in these patients. The researchers want to understand more about these effects, which could lead to better treatments for Long COVID symptoms.

To participate in this study, you need to be between the ages of 65 and 74, speak English, and have been diagnosed with Long COVID. However, there are some health conditions that would exclude you from the trial, such as a history of certain heart or brain diseases, or severe lung conditions that require oxygen support. If you qualify and decide to join, you can expect to undergo assessments related to brain function without any invasive procedures. Additionally, women who could become pregnant will need to take a pregnancy test before participating. This study is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could contribute to important discoveries in understanding and treating Long COVID.
