NE3107 for Post-COVID Syndrome

Farmington Hills, Michigan
Long COVID is a condition where debilitating symptoms can persist for months after a COVID-19 infection. This study aims to evaluate the effects of NE3107 on several neurological symptoms reported in people with Long COVID including difficulty concentrating or remembering things ("brain fog") and fatigue. Researchers will compare NE3107 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if NE3107 works to treat neurocognitive and fatigue symptoms of long COVID. Participants will: * Take NE3107 or a placebo twice daily for 84 days * Visit the clinic 5 times for checkups and tests and have a follow up phone call

Online Support Program for Lupus

Durham, North Carolina
For people living with people living with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) the symptoms with the largest impact on their quality of life - fatigue, pain, and brain fog - are not always addressed in rheumatology clinic visits. To address the quality-of-life limitations, the investigators have created and will test the health coach-led, 8-session Whole Health Empowerment for Endotypes of Lupus (WHEEL) online support program. This program moves beyond traditional clinic visits and standard educational curricula to engage patients in creating their own health goals and therapeutic plans in a setting that emphasizes both the psychosocial and clinical factors contributing to disease. Participants will attend the virtual sessions, work with their health coach on two additional sessions, and complete surveys.

Brain Stimulation + Cognitive Training for Lyme Disease

New York, New York
The primary purpose of this pilot study is to investigate a novel approach to the treatment of cognitive symptoms that persist despite prior antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease (Post treatment Lyme Disease or PTLD). Aim 1: The primary aim of this study is to assess whether the processing speed of individuals with PTLD can be enhanced by combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with computer based cognitive training games. To achieve this aim, over a 4-week period, all individuals with PTLD will participate in at home adaptive cognitive training combined with either active stimulation or sham stimulation. Aim 2: To determine if treatment benefit in processing speed is sustained, the study will compare the sham and active groups 8 weeks after completion of study treatment.

Cognitive Rehabilitation for Long COVID Brain Fog

Birmingham, Alabama
This study will compare two approaches to cognitive rehabilitation in adults with long COVID with persistent, mild to moderate, cognitive impairment. One approach will feature (A) web-based computer "games" that trains how quickly individuals process information that they receive through their senses; (B) in-lab training on everyday activities with important cognitive components, (C) procedures designed to transfer improvements in cognition from the treatment setting to everyday life, and (D) a non-invasive form of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), i.e., trans-auricular VNS (taVNS). Component B will include work-related tasks. This approach is termed Constraint-Induced Cognitive Therapy (CICT). The other approach will feature (A) web-based computer "games" that train reaction time and eye-hand coordination; (B) in-lab training on relaxation, healthy nutrition, and healthy sleep, (C) procedures designed to promote integration of these lifestyle changes into everyday life, and (D) taVNS. This approach is termed Brain Fitness Training (BFT). A subset of participants, who qualify for and and desire vocational rehabilitation (VR), will receive VR from the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) in addition to CICT or BFT. ADRS VR will include career counseling, prescription of on-the-job accommodations, and guidance on return-to-work. Those in the CICT + VR group will also receive on-the-job coaching from a peer mentor for a month after completing training. CICT, with or without VR, will involve 30 hours of training. Ten 3-hour in-lab, face-to-face, therapist-directed sessions will be scheduled. These sessions will feature one hour of gaming; the remainder will be committed to in-lab training on the target behaviors and the procedures designed to promote transfer of therapeutic gains to daily life and improving skills essential to work; the set of the latter procedures is termed the Transfer Package. ta-VNS will administered for 10 minutes before gaming and in-lab target behavior training. To accommodate the demands of participants' other activities, training sessions will be permitted to be scheduled as tightly as every weekday over 2 weeks or as loosely as every other weekday or so over 4 weeks. If a family caregiver is available, they will receive training on how to best support participants in their therapeutic program. After training ends, four follow-up phone calls will be scheduled approximately one-week apart with participants to promote integration of the skills gained during training into everyday life. BFT, with or without VR, will involve 30 hours of training following the same schedule as for CICT. Ten 3-hour in-lab, face-to-face, therapist-directed sessions will be scheduled. These sessions will feature one hour of gaming; the remainder will be committed to in-lab training on the target behaviors (healthy sleep, nutrition and relaxation habits) and the procedures designed to promote transfer of behavior change to daily life. ta-VNS will be administered for 10 minutes before gaming and in-lab target behavior training. If a family caregiver is available, they will receive training on how to best support participants in their therapeutic program. After training ends, four follow-up phone calls will be scheduled approximately one-week apart with participants to promote integration of the skills gained during training into everyday life. Participants will be randomly assigned to the interventions. Randomization will be stratified by whether participants qualify for and desire VR from ADRS or not. If yes, participants will be randomized in equal numbers to CICT + VR or BFT + VR. If no, participants will be randomized in equal numbers to CICT or BFT. Testing will happen one month before treatment, one day before treatment, one day afterwards, and 6-months afterwards. Outcomes measured will include cognitive processing speed, cognitive function on laboratory tests, and spontaneous performance of everyday activities with important cognitive components in daily life. Another important outcome measure will be whether or not participants were able to return back to work or had significant improvements in their work activities.

Omega-3 for Brain Fog

Rimouski, Quebec
A growing body of studies shows that omega-3s act directly in molecular signaling pathways that reduce inflammation and are thought to have a positive effect on cognitive health. Brain fog is a term that has been popularized in the medical world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant proportion of patients with long COVID reported having cognitive sequelae that were like fogginess. It is defined as a cognitive impairment with characteristic symptoms including problems with concentration, attention and memory, confusion, difficulty understanding what others are saying, reduced mental acuity and mental fatigue. These are episodes of reduced cognitive capacity that are not representative of the person's normal state. This condition can be caused by various factors such as stress, lack of sleep, overwork, depression, hormonal changes due to pregnancy or menopause in women, head injuries, migraine, certain diseases or viral infections, certain medications as well as substance abuse (alcohol and/or street drugs). In this study, we want to test whether omega-3 monoglycerides (MAG-EPA) can alter the cognitive health of people with brain fog.

Ketamine for Post-COVID Syndrome

Austin, Texas
Plain Language Summary: This study is a clinical trial to see if ketamine can help treat symptoms of Long COVID, especially fatigue and problems with thinking clearly (often called "brain fog"). Long COVID is a condition that affects people even after they have recovered from COVID-19, causing ongoing health issues like tiredness, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating. Right now, there are very few treatments available for these symptoms, and many people are looking for new options to feel better. What is the study trying to find out? Does ketamine help reduce fatigue and improve thinking skills in people with Long COVID? Does ketamine improve overall quality of life and mental health for people with Long COVID? Is ketamine safe and well-tolerated for people with Long COVID? How does ketamine affect the body's biological processes, like inflammation and brain function? How will the study work? The study will include 20 adults between 18 and 65 years old who have Long COVID symptoms like fatigue or brain fog. Participants will first meet with researchers to answer health questions, take surveys about their symptoms, and do tests to check their thinking skills. Some participants will also have a brain scan (MRI) and give a blood sample to look at markers of inflammation. Participants will then receive four ketamine treatments over two weeks at a specialized clinic. The ketamine will be given as an injection, with the dose slightly increasing during the treatment period. After six weeks, participants will return for follow-up tests to see if their symptoms have improved. This includes repeating the surveys, thinking tests, and for some, another MRI and blood test. Why ketamine? Ketamine is a medicine originally used for anesthesia but has also been found to help with depression and other mental health issues. Researchers think it might help with Long COVID symptoms because it can reduce inflammation in the brain and improve how the brain functions. People with Long COVID often have signs of inflammation and changes in brain chemicals, which ketamine might help balance. What are the potential benefits? Participants might experience less fatigue and clearer thinking after ketamine treatment. They could also feel better overall in terms of mood and quality of life. Since ketamine can work quickly, some people may notice improvements shortly after starting the treatment. What are the risks? Ketamine can cause side effects like feeling dizzy, anxious, or having an unusual sense of reality (sometimes called dissociation). It may also cause temporary increases in blood pressure or heart rate. All treatments will be carefully monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure safety. Who can participate? Adults aged 18-65 with Long COVID who have significant fatigue or thinking problems can join. People will not be able to participate if they have certain health conditions like severe heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a history of severe mental health disorders. Why is this study important? Long COVID affects millions of people, and many are struggling to find treatments that work. This study is one of the first to explore ketamine as a potential treatment for Long COVID symptoms. If ketamine helps, it could lead to more research and eventually new treatment options for people living with Long COVID.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Brain Fog clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Brain Fog clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Brain Fog trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Brain Fog is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Brain Fog medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Brain Fog clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Sildenafil for Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment, Brain Stimulation + Cognitive Training for Lyme Disease and Brain Stimulation + Cognitive Training for Lyme Disease to the Power online platform.
