Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for the treatment of fatigue in post-COVID-19 patients

Radiology Infectious Disease Endocrinology COVID-19 Diabetes Infectious Disease Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

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.
