This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a combination of two treatments—brain stimulation (called transcranial direct current stimulation) and computerized cognitive training—can help improve thinking and memory problems that persist after COVID-19. About 40 people with ongoing cognitive difficulties from COVID-19 will participate. You'll either receive the active brain stimulation paired with cognitive training, or a placebo (sham) version of the brain stimulation with the same cognitive training, to see which helps most.
Many people report significant thinking, memory, and concentration problems that last long after their COVID-19 infection. This trial is testing a new combined approach to help restore these cognitive abilities and improve quality of life for people struggling with these persistent symptoms.

You'll start with diagnostic sessions including brain imaging scans and thinking/memory tests. Then you'll be randomly assigned to receive either active or placebo brain stimulation combined with computerized cognitive training exercises over an extended treatment period. After treatment ends, you'll complete follow-up testing to measure changes in your thinking abilities, brain function, and overall quality of life. The study involves regular visits to the research center for these sessions and assessments.
