Must have
18 years of age or older
Experiencing PASC symptoms ≥ 6 months
Must not have
Serious immune/autoimmune diagnoses prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection
Any serious unstable medical or neurologic condition

Summary

This trial aims to test if a new treatment at home can help patients with memory issues caused by post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). They will study 30

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with cognitive issues after recovering from COVID, often called 'Long COVID'. Participants should have moderate to severe memory or thinking problems since their illness. The study excludes individuals who are currently using other cognitive therapies or devices, those with implanted electronic medical devices, and pregnant women.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the Pascal device, which is a new technology aimed at improving brain function in Long COVID patients. Half of the participants will receive this active device while the other half will get a sham (inactive) device as a comparison over four weeks of treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an early-stage study primarily looking at feasibility and safety, specific side effects aren't listed but may include discomfort or skin irritation from wearing the device. Any unexpected reactions related to the use of Pascal will be closely monitored.
