Assessing the impact of COVID-19 on sleep and cognitive health

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to systematically evaluate the relationship between sleep disturbances, obstructive sleep apnea, and post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) in individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. It will collect data on sleep quality, cognitive function, and fatigue symptoms to understand how these factors may influence long-term health outcomes. The study will also explore the role of inflammatory biomarkers during acute COVID-19 infection in predicting the severity and duration of PASC. This pilot study serves as a foundation for future research on the connections between long-COVID and sleep-related issues.
