Study Summary

This trial suggests that cognitive impairment is a common outcome for people who have had Covid-19, even if they were never hospitalized. It's not clear how Covid-19 causes cognitive impairment, but it's possible that the virus enters the brain directly or indirectly.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had COVID-19 and are now experiencing cognitive issues, confirmed by specific tests. It's not for those with pre-existing conditions like progressive dementia, non-English speakers, or individuals with severe impairments that prevent game interaction.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing AKL-T01, a cognitive training program against a control group to see if it helps improve brain function in people who have had COVID-19 and are facing mental challenges.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves cognitive training exercises, traditional physical side effects are unlikely. However, participants may experience frustration or fatigue from the mental tasks.
