NCT05758558Completed
Cognitive, Psychological, and Physical Functioning in Long-COVID Patients With Different Levels of Fatigue.
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Post COVID-19 usually occurs 3 months from the onset of COVID-19 with symptoms that last for at least 2 months and cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis. Patients report a range of disabling symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, cognitive impairment, memory loss and mental health and employment issues. This clinical heterogeneity complicates the identification of the appropriate needs and care. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to identify subgroups (clusters) of post COVID patients based on clinical symptoms, demographic characteristics, levels of fatigue and physical, cognitive and psychological functioning of the individuals.
