Brain Fog clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Brain fog means having difficulty with thinking or remembering things. UCSF is researching the impact of COVID-19 on the brain. These studies are looking into how the virus affects memory and other cognitive functions.
Neural and Cognitive Consequences of COVID-19 Survival
open to eligible people ages 18-70
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID, continues to rage throughout the world with 115,000,000 confirmed cases and over 2,500,000 deaths (as of Mar 3, 2021). This translates to millions of people surviving COVID19 infection. While the lungs are ground zero, COVID tears through organ systems from brain to blood vessels. We are now beginning to see people recover but complain of ongoing problems, including lingering cognitive problems, depression, and anxiety. We have brought together 2 laboratories with complementary techniques including psychological testing and neuroimaging methods togethers with markers in the blood that may signal damage in the brain. A close look at these problems is timely and imperative if we are to understand the pathophysiology of 'COVID brain' and prepare for downstream problems.
