Summary

This study tests whether acupuncture can improve thinking and memory problems (brain fog) in people with chronic fatigue syndrome that started after COVID-19. About 99 adults will be split into three groups: real acupuncture, fake acupuncture, or a waiting list. They will receive treatment for 8 weeks, and researchers will use brain scans to see if acupuncture changes brain activity.
