NCT ID NCT06082518
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can improve symptoms like fatigue and brain fog in people with post-COVID syndrome. About 40 adults with long COVID will receive the treatment. The main goal is to see if a larger study is possible, but researchers will also check if symptoms get better.
