Brain training app takes on long COVID disability
NCT ID NCT07530757
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a supervised online program called SuperCAP to see if it can improve thinking and daily functioning in people with long COVID. One hundred adults with post-COVID cognitive difficulties will either use the program or receive standard education. The goal is to reduce disability and improve quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Supervised Computerized Active Program (SuperCAP) - an online program with cognitive exercises, fatigue management, and education
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, non-drug way to ease brain fog and fatigue in long COVID, helping people get back to daily activities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants. The program may not work for everyone, and results might not apply to all long COVID patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of PCC, defined as the presence of three or more symptoms associated with COVID-19 infection for at least three months, not explained by other diseases. * Age 18 to 65 years. * Willingness to participate in an app-based intervention program aimed at improving daily Functioning in People Living with PCC. * Evidence of patient-reported cognitive difficulties emerging after COVID-19, operationalized as a WHODAS 2.0 Cognition Domain (D1) score \> 6 at baseline via RedCAP. * Digital proficiency defined as scoring ≥4 on MDPQ-16 item 2a (sending emails) and ≥3 on item 6a (using the device's app store) via RedCAP. * Self-reported ability to use a mobile application for approximately 15 minutes per day, 5 days per week, considering their current symptoms. * Possession of a personal smartphone compatible with the study mobile application (eSalut), with sufficient storage space and operating system version required for installation. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to undergo neuropsychological tests or additional assessments. * Prior use of the SuperCAP program. * Current participation in a trial or program aimed at improving PCC symptoms. * Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, could make participation unsafe, complicate interpretation of study results, interfere with achievement of study objectives, or otherwise affect the participant's ability to complete the study.
