NCT ID NCT05656105

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brains of people with long COVID who have neurological symptoms like brain fog or memory problems. Researchers will compare these scans with those from healthy volunteers to see if inflammation is linked to ongoing symptoms. The goal is to better understand what causes long COVID brain issues, not to test a treatment.
