NCT ID NCT07498504
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow over 5,000 adults with Long COVID for two years each to understand how the condition changes over time, who recovers, and what new illnesses may develop. Researchers will focus on brain fog, heart and lung problems, and chronic fatigue. No drugs or treatments are being tested – the goal is to gather knowledge to guide future care and public health.
