Long COVID brain fog study tracks Real-World treatment outcomes
NCT ID NCT07090564
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 171 people with Long COVID who had brain fog and other thinking problems. Researchers looked at what treatments patients received and how their quality of life changed over 6 months. The goal was to see if certain treatments helped improve daily functioning. Because this was an observational study, it cannot prove that any specific treatment caused improvements.

- If successful, this could help identify which treatments improve quality of life for people with Long COVID brain fog.
- What could go wrong

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: \- Diagnosis of Long COVID assigned by a PCRC provider and at least one of a prespecified set of ICD10 codes used by clinic providers to indicate neurologic symptoms. Since no diagnostic biomarkers or established criteria existed during the period of the study, Long COVID diagnosis was based on clinical judgement, taking into account the timing of symptom onset relative to acute COVID19 and the presence or absence of alternate diagnoses that might explain them. Exclusion Criteria: * Age under 18 * Failure to complete pre-visit PROMIS29 questionnaire * Absence of a Long COVID diagnosis or concurrent neurologic diagnosis.
