Long COVID clinical trials, in English

Long COVID (PASC) records define a time since infection and a symptom cluster. Some studies require documented SARS-CoV-2; others allow suspected infection. Treatments range from rehab to investigational drugs. Evidence is still evolving — the NCT page states what is being tested, not what is proven. Sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov. Not a recommendation to join any study.

How to read this list

Not a traditional drug phase: Transcranial Direct Current Therapy (tDCS) for COVID-19

This study aims to verify the how well it works/effectiveness of treatment with transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) in patients with Long Covid who experience headaches, migraines, and chronic pain, such as arthralgia and myalgia, as well as sleep problems. Transcranial direct current stimulation is used in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, with results that have proven to be effective for treating patients suffering from symptoms like migraines, headaches, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or chronic neuropathic pain and insomnia.

Not a traditional drug phase: Cardiac coherence for Long COVID

Despite the controversy, on October 6, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized Long Coronavirus disease (COVID) by officially defining it: " symptoms appeared 3 months after the onset of the primary infection by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), persisting for at least 2 months and which cannot be explained by any other condition ". Long COVID can affects any type of patient and has polymorphic and fluctuating symptoms over time.

Phase 2: testing Pyridostigmine for ME/CFS

The LIFT will be conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) of Harvard Medical School, focusing on the effect of Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) and Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) in subjects aged 18-70 meeting the Canadian consensus criteria (CCC) for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) as well as having specifically Orthostatic Intolerance (OI). Long COVID (LC) subjects will also be included if they meet CCC and have OI.

Phase 3: testing Baricitinib for Long COVID

The overarching goal of this study is to determine if baricitinib, as compared to dummy treatment (placebo), will improve neurocognitive function, along with measures of physical function, quality of life, post-exertional malaise, effect of breathlessness on daily activities, post-COVID-19 symptom burden, and biomarkers of inflammation and viral measures, in participants with Long COVID.

Phase 2 / Phase 3: testing Taurine for Long COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic has swept across the globe, affecting millions of individuals with varying degrees of severity. While many individuals recover from the acute phase of the infection, a significant proportion continue to experience persistent and debilitating symptoms long after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Not a traditional drug phase: Heat therapy for Long COVID

Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) is becoming a major risk factor for chronic diseases, with older adults and those with underlying health conditions at risk of developing persistent mobility limitations and disabilities. Although exercise intervention is a common strategy to restore functional capacity, it may not be feasible or enticing to many people with PASC.

Not a traditional drug phase: Hi-OxSR device for Long COVID

The RECLAIM study platform will be used to explore whether the use of the Hi-OxSR device improves the symptoms of post covid cognitive dysfunction. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been proposed as a potential treatment for persistent immune activation as there is evidence that CO2 has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cytokine effects.

Not a traditional drug phase: SuperCAP intervention program for Post COVID Condition

The goal of this study is to determine whether the SuperCAP intervention program is superior to control in reducing disability from baseline to the post-intervention assessment in people with Post-COVID-19 Condition. The main question it aims to answer is whether participants assigned to SuperCAP experience a greater reduction in disability, defined as an improvement of at least 5 points on the WHODAS 2.0 from baseline to the post-intervention visit, compared with participants in the control group.

Fatigue Investigation Using Digital Outcomes

This study investigates objective methods to measure and monitor fatigue in patients with post-COVID-19 condition (long COVID) and multiple sclerosis (MS), and includes a group of healthy volunteers for comparison. Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom of both conditions, but current assessment methods rely mainly on questionnaires, which can be limited by subjectivity and recall bias.

FAQ: Long COVID trials

How do I find recruiting Long COVID clinical trials?

This hub lists 27 recruiting Long COVID studies from a ClinicalTrials.gov snapshot, rewritten in plain English. Each card links to its NCT record. You can also search the official registry for “long COVID” at https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=long%20COVID.

What does a Long COVID trial page on PlainTrials include?

A phase explainer, a plain-English summary grounded in the brief summary, inclusion/exclusion extracted from the public eligibility block, sponsor name, and any central contact the sponsor published. It is not a match to a trial.

Where are Long COVID studies located in this snapshot?

Sites that appear on these records include Zurich, Canton of Zurich; San Francisco, California; Edmonton, Alberta; Sherbrooke, Quebec; Boston, Massachusetts. A city on a record is not a guarantee that the site is taking new patients this week — call the NCT contact.

Can PlainTrials tell me if I qualify for a Long COVID study?

No. Eligibility is decided by the study team using the protocol, labs, and consent. Our “who it is for” list is a readable extract of public inclusion text only.
