Electric suit trial aims to jolt long COVID fatigue away
NCT ID NCT07312357
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a whole-body electrostimulation suit can reduce fatigue and improve physical function in people with Long COVID. 30 adults with persistent symptoms will be randomly assigned to receive either active stimulation or a placebo version during 12 weekly sessions. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can help with daily activities and quality of life.
