Summary

This study is testing whether acupuncture can help improve memory, focus, and fatigue in people who developed chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) after having COVID-19. Researchers will enroll 99 adults and randomly assign them to receive real acupuncture, fake acupuncture, or be on a waitlist for 8 weeks. They will use brain scans to see if acupuncture changes brain activity and chemistry, which might explain how it could help with 'brain fog' and other cognitive problems.
