Disentangling the roots of survivors’ cognitive deficits is no easy task

“[For some patients] there are parts of their brain that have been damaged by stroke as a result of COVID-19,” Uswatte said. “Then in addition to that, there are new findings that the virus causes inflammation of the brain cells, so they’re sort of like a direct attack on brain cells and the vasculature in the brain...And I think there are still additional ways that the virus damages brain tissues that we’re still just starting to learn about."
If you or someone you know are suffering from trouble thinking or brain fog after COVID-19 consider visiting the CI Therapy Research Group web site at www.uab.edu/citherapy , or call 205-934-9768 for more information about enrolling in the trial.

Researchers say many COVID patients have experienced symptoms such as memory loss, and difficulty thinking clearly for months after recovering from the initial illness.

"Other researchers have found that up to a third of recovered COVID patients reported experiencing issues such as memory loss, struggling to think clearly or other altered mental functions long after their initial illness. Some of the patients said these impairments were so severe they had difficulty performing routine tasks such as cooking or paying bills...Interested patients can visit the web site www.uab.edu/citherapy, or call 205-934-9768 for more information about enrolling in the trial."

Clinical trial at UAB studying way to clear ‘brain fog’ from COVID-19
The training is designed to improve how quickly you process information and perform daily activities. The study, which will take place at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, pays participants $20 per training session on average. The training program, which will require several visits to our lab, can be tailored to fit your schedule. If you are interested, please call 205-934-9768 or email [email protected]. You can find out more about this study at www.citherapy.net. -19

Taub and Uswatte aim to recruit at least 20 adult patients — anyone age 18 or older who has recovered from COVID-19 but is experiencing memory loss, brain fog or other cognitive issues. Participants will receive the training at no cost.

“We have proved that the therapy works in other conditions. What got us interested here [brain fog after COVID-19] was the fact that current brain-training techniques that aim to help with brain fog work fine in the lab or in the training setting but they don’t transfer robustly to real-life situations. And if it doesn’t transfer to life situations, why bother?”- Edward Taub
Individuals who think they can benefit are welcome to contact the project directly at 205-934-9768 or learn more about the study at uab.edu/citherapy.
