[Join a study for long COVID, for people 3 months or longer following a COVID-19 infection who are experiencing memory or concentration problems or fatigue.

You are invited to participate in a research study led by researchers at Queen’s University to evaluate the effectiveness of using EEG technology, neurofeedback brain training on cognitive problems in people with long COVID.

You may be able to join the study if you report having continuing symptoms including thinking difficulties/ cognitive impairment or fatigue. It must be at least three months since the confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 by rapid antigen test (RAT) or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing].

This study is funded by a Research Development Fund & Freda Paltiel Award from Queen’s School of Nursing.

BRAIN TRAINING USING NEUROPTIMAL™ NEUROFEEDBACK

NeurOptimal™ neurofeedback has been found to improve fatigue, memory, concentration problems and other symptoms in cancer survivors. Study participants will receive 20 neurofeedback sessions using NeurOptimal™ EEG technology at no cost. This is not a medical treatment. It is a non-invasive, drug-free form of brain training that helps the brain to achieve a calmer, more focused state like the effects of meditation, and is reported to help with a variety of conditions including fatigue, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and cognitive decline.

The study will evaluate cognition, fatigue, sleep, psychological symptoms, anxiety and depression following 20 NeurOptimal™ neurofeedback sessions carried out over 10 weeks.
