NCT ID NCT06723821

First seen May 17, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tested a noninvasive nerve stimulation device to see if it can reduce muscle and joint pain in people with long COVID. 40 adults who had COVID-19 in the last 3 months and still had pain were split into two groups: one received the real treatment and the other a fake (sham) treatment. Researchers measured pain, sleep, stress, and quality of life to see if the device helps.
