Summary

This study tests whether the supplement coenzyme Q10 can ease symptoms like fatigue and pain in people affected by the 2023 East Palestine, Ohio train derailment. Twenty participants will take either CoQ10 or a placebo for three months, then switch. The goal is not to prove benefit but to gather data for a future larger trial.
