The National Institutes of Health (NIH) spearheaded the Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative, which aims to tackle the broad and varied effects of long-Covid.
The trial will study accessible interventions for cognitive dysfunction linked to long Covid, including brain fog, memory problems and difficulty with attention, thinking clearly and problem-solving.
This protocol involves several interventions that include Posit Science’s digital cognitive training programme known as PASC-Cognitive Recovery.
Interventions also include Mount Sinai Health System’s web-based goal management training programme and the home-based tDCS system designed by Soterix Medical specifically for RS-tDCS use.
