Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for the Treatment of Fatigue in Post-COVID-19 Patients

University of Iowa·interventional·Posted May 6, 2021·Updated May 1, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Post Covid-19 Patients. Completed, enrolled 74 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the short- and long-term effects of multiple sessions of 4 mA M1 tDCS on fatigue and brain activity in recovered COVID-19 patients using established measures of perception of fatigue, performance fatigability, and cerebral glucose uptake. Our central hypothesis is that tDCS will improve fatigue short- and long-term, and thus will improve quality of life (QOL) in recovered COVID-19 patients and that these changes will be associated with alterations in brain activity.

Interventions

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulationdevice

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation. It uses small electrodes to deliver small amounts of current to specific areas of the brain to either increase or decrease excitability.

Sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulationdevice

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation. It uses small electrodes to deliver small amounts of current to specific areas of the brain to either increase or decrease excitability.
