Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- If anyone denies they have any of the above symptoms before consent, they will be excluded from the trial
- They will also be excluded from the trial if they have suffered any fractured bones in the last 3 months (this will further decrease risk to the patient as the patient will be moved by the physician during the treatment protocol)
- Participants who are enrolled in other Long-COVID trials that have an intervention during their participation in this trial will be excluded. However, if they have a history of enrollment in a long-covid trial that has no interventions during this trial, they will not be excluded based on their history of acquiring experimental treatment.
