90 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
REGENECYTE (HPC, Cord Blood, hUCB) for treatment in patients with post-COVID.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of vagal nerve stimulation on patients with post COVID syndrome who have fatigue and headache.
The main purpose of this study is to gather data and assess changes in patient-reported outcomes with the stellate ganglion blocks as treatment for their sympathetically-mediated long COVID symptoms.
The IMPACT Long Covid Treatment clinical study (IMPACT-LC) is testing two repurposed and previously approved drugs, Maraviroc and Atorvastatin, for the treatment of non-hospitalized subjects with long COVID/Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID (PASC). The main goals of the clinical study are to determine if this combination drug therapy can improve neurocognitive and physical functions in Long Covid patients, such as fatigue severity, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, breathing, dizziness, and cognitive function. A secondary goal is to determine if biomarker levels, measured by a diagnostic test, can improve during treatment. To qualify for the trial, a subject must be an adult ≥ 18 and ≤ 65 years of age and meets the WHO-defined post-COVID-19 condition and has one or more new-onset Long Covid symptom that persist ≥ 6 months after the diagnosis of acute COVID-19 infection. A total of 252 participants will take either two daily doses of two existing medications (Maraviroc and Atorvastatin together as separate tablets) or a placebo (pills with no active ingredient) for 16 weeks. Although these medications are not yet approved for Long Covid, they are FDA-approved for use in treating other health conditions.
This study aimed to explore the impact of the Biosound Therapy Systerm on long COVID symptoms while determining feasibility of a future full-scale Randomized Controlled Trial. It was hypothesized that Biosound treatment would significantly improve long COVID. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about Biosound Therapy System's impact on long COVID symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does Biosound Therapy impact long COVID symptoms? * Is the protocol for this trial feasible for a future full-scale Randomized Controlled Trial? Participants with long COVID symptoms will be assigned to a control group and treatment group. The control group will receive no treatment. The treatment group will have 8 sessions of Biosound Therapy. Researchers will compare the treatment and control group to see if there's a difference in long COVID symptoms.
This is a two-arm, double blind randomized 12-week study to supplement omega-3 (Eicosapentaenoic acid - EPA + docosahexaenoic acid - DHA) among 100 adults (age 18+) who had coronavirus-19 (covid-19) and are experiencing possible after-effects from post-acute sequelae of covid-19 (also called post-covid syndrome or long covid syndrome).
This study will test the efficacy of treadmill exercise combined with supplemental oxygen during exercise and recovery for the treatment of persistent post-acute COVID-19 symptoms. Participants will be pseudo-randomized (stratified by age) to one of four conditions for 8 treatment sessions: 1) treadmill exercise plus supplemental oxygen, 2) treadmill exercise plus air, 3) supplemental oxygen only, 4) air only. All participants will then cross-over and receive 16 additional sessions of treadmill exercise plus supplemental oxygen.
Patients with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or post acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) and abnormal growth hormone secretion, as measured by glucagon stimulation test, will be treated with replacement growth hormone therapy for a period of 6 months (mTBI) or 9 months (PASC). Testing of cognition, exercise, fatigue, brain activation and morphology, body composition and measurements of quality of life will be performed before and after the treatment period. Fecal sampling for characterization of the GI microbiome will occur monthly over the treatment period. Control subjects will be enrolled and will provide fecal samples monthly for 6 months. GI microbiomes will be compared between mTBI patients, PASC patients and controls at baseline as well as over the treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to test if Variable Pulse TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) can result in objective improvements in patients with Post COVID Syndrome (PCS).
About 10-20% of persons who contract SARS CoV-2 will experience persistent post-acute sequelae of SARSCoV-2 infection (referred here as PASC). While treatments offered at emerging outpatient COVID recovery clinics are being informed by previous similar diseases, the need is great for a better understanding of the unique needs of this growing population and for tested, efficacious rehabilitation programs to address them. We provide both here.The targeted six-week program will be comprised of a core set of therapies, including individually titrated stretching and flexibility, strengthening of accessory breathing muscles and diaphragm, resistance and aerobic conditioning, and vestibular rehabilitation, supplemented by neuropsychological and cognitive remediation tailored to patients' needs.
The first aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of delivering CO-OP remotely to individuals experiencing cognitive impairments that limit everyday activities in post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS). The second aim of this study is to assess the effect of CO-OP on activity performance, subjective and objective cognition, and quality of life in a sample of individuals with PCS. The research team hypothesizes that effect size estimations will indicate that CO-OP will have a greater positive effect, compared to an inactive control group, on activity performance, subjective and objective cognition, and quality of life in a sample of individuals who self-report PCS and cognitive impairment.
This study will enroll up to 80 subjects with Chronic Post COVID-19 Syndrome. Subjects will receive four intravenous injections of either allogeneic HB-adMSC's or a placebo over 10 weeks with two follow-up visits and an end of study visit at week 26.
This is an Intermediate- Size Patient Population Expanded Access Protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HB-adMSCs for the treatment of patients with Post-COVID-19 Syndrome. The investigational product will be an add-on treatment to the standard of care.

To evaluate the extent to which a 12-week respiratory rehabilitation program consisting of inspiratory and expiratory breathing exercises compared to expiratory breathing exercises alone will help to improve shortness of breath, respiratory symptoms, breathing function, distance walked, and quality of life in those who are experiencing persistent shortness of breath after having had COVID-19. Measurements will take place at the beginning, 6 weeks, and at 12 weeks in the study.
Following acute COVID-19, some patients develop a group of debilitating symptoms that include fatigue, orthostatic intolerance, difficulty with attention and concentration (often called "brain fog"), myalgias and disrupted sleep. The term Long COVID is used to describe these symptoms after the initial viral infection has passed. These symptoms are the same as those that define myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). A "Proof of Concept" trial showed significant fatigue benefit in Long COVID patients. This randomized, placebo controlled follow-on trial will determine whether oxaloacetate can reduce fatigue and improve other symptoms in patients with Long COVID who meet diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS.
The goal of this proposed clinical case series is to evaluate the effect of a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation paradigm on: 1) Symptom reporting via validated patient reported outcomes, and 2) objective clinical biomarkers of autonomic nervous system function. This will be a placebo controlled, randomized controlled trial with a crossover design built in. This study will aim to recruit 40 people with Long COVID to be a part of this research.
An assessment of the effectiveness of Stellate Ganglion Block in alleviating symptoms of Long COVID-19.
This project is a randomized controlled pilot trial using mixed methods to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and initial effects of a telemedicine group-based intervention designed to improve symptom management and coping in adults with Post-COVID.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (t-VNS) on Long Covid symptoms in females and to identify factors influencing susceptibility and recovery-particularly in the cognitive domain, as over 80% of long-haulers experience "brain fog".
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of adapting and delivering the existing home-based epilepsy self-management intervention, HOBSCOTCH, for people with Post Acute Covid Syndrome (PACS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the current HOBSCOTCH program be adapted for people with PACS? Will people with PACS experience improved quality of life similar to that found in people with epilepsy after participating in the HOBSCOTCH program? Participants will be asked to: * attend nine, one-hour virtual (online and/or by telephone) HOBSCOTCH-PACS sessions with a one-on-one certified HOBSCOTCH-PACS coach * complete a brief clinical questionnaire about their diagnosis of PACS * complete seven questionnaires before and after the HOBSCOTCH-PACS sessions about their quality of life, memory and thinking processes (objective and subjective cognition), about their physical and mental health and about autonomic symptoms associated with their diagnosis of PACS * keep a short daily diary (using a smart phone app or on paper) about their PACS symptoms and use of the self-management strategies taught in the HOBSCOTCH-PACS program * complete two brief surveys to assess satisfaction with their experience after the entire HOBSCOTCH-PACS program
The primary objective of this study is to conduct a 16-week randomized controlled trial aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the Whole-Diet Approach when following a healthy US-style diet rich in anti-inflammatory properties. The study will focus on evaluating its impact on reducing symptoms related to Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PACS) in adults aged 50 years and older. The main research questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does adhering to a healthy US-style diet, which is abundant in anti-inflammatory properties, effectively mitigate fatigue symptoms in adults with PACS? 2. Does adhering to a healthy US-style diet, which is abundant in anti-inflammatory properties, effectively mitigate declines in muscle function and physical performance in adults with PACS? At the beginning of the study, eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the Dietary Intervention Group, where they will receive personalized dietary plans and weekly sessions, or the Attention Control Group, where they will attend general health sessions on a weekly basis as well. This research intends to shed light on the potential benefits of the Whole-Diet Approach and its role in ameliorating PACS-related symptoms among older adults. By comparing the outcomes of the two groups, we hope to gain valuable insights into the effectiveness of this dietary intervention in improving the quality of life for individuals dealing with PACS.
Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS), colloquially known as Long COVID, is a prevalent phenomenon that affects thousands of Veterans in VA care. VA patients suffering from Long COVID not only experience lingering physical symptoms following COVID-19 infection, but have increased mental health problems including sleep disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma and stress-related disorders as well as increased use of opioid and non-opioid pain medications, antidepressants, and sedatives to treat these conditions. Developing recovery-oriented care, "a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential" is a VA priority, however available Long COVID treatments primarily target symptom relief and are not designed to promote the recovery and rehabilitation of Veterans in a mental health context. Long COVID Coping and Recovery (LCCR) is a promising manualized, recovery-focused psychotherapeutic group intervention which aims to improve psychological adjustment to Long COVID symptoms, promote resilience, and facilitate coping, based on established psychotherapeutic techniques such as skills training, acceptance-based and identity-based principles. The investigators will assess rates of recruitment, intervention engagement, and session attendance (feasibility), Veteran satisfaction (acceptability), treatment adherence (fidelity) and preliminarily explore response to Long COVID Coping and Recovery (LCCR). Findings will be used to make a final adaptation of the treatment materials and to develop a research protocol for a large scale RCT of LCCR for Veterans with Long COVID. This study will pilot test a well-specified, group-based intervention tailored to the unique needs of Veterans with Long COVID. The results of the proposed study will provide data to 1) identify adaptations needed to optimize LCCR for Veterans with Long COVID; 2) identify possible benefits of LCCR; 3) inform development of a large scale RCT of LCCR for Veterans with Long COVID.
The term post-acute COVID-19 syndrome or Long COVID is a disabling syndrome that persists beyond the 3-month convalescence period after COVID-19 infections. This syndrome affects mostly women (\~80%), present with chronic tachycardia and Orthostatic intolerance symptoms without any identifiable cause. In addition, non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and "brain fog", commonly described in POTS patients are also present in this novel condition, recently named post-COVID-19 tachycardia syndrome, POTS variant. Reduced Vagal activity and unresolved inflammation is post-COVID-19 POTS is hypothesized as the cause of Long COVID
This study will assess the acceptability, feasibility, and impact of game-based computer-delivered cognitive training on cognitive function in persons with cognitive symptoms that persist after recovery from acute coronavirus-19 (COVID) infection.
To determine whether an individually prescribed homeopathic medicine has an effect greater than a placebo and is a viable treatment option to improve fatigue and quality of life for patients suffering from the symptoms of Post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome. The researchers hope to achieve this goal by conducting a clinical trial that is scientifically rigorous and clinically relevant. Expected results of this pilot study will be to obtain sufficient experience and preliminary feasibility data to justify a larger clinical trial of this hypothesis.
Use the Intermountain real-world MAb-treatment registry and control group to prospectively evaluate PACS symptoms at least 60 days after initial COVID-19 diagnosis.
This study will explore the contribution of CBD oral drops in persons experiencing symptoms of Post Acute COVID Syndrome or "PACS".
