In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This proposal aims to understand the neurobiological mechanisms of fatigue in individuals with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC). This knowledge will eventually provide candidate mechanisms to target with pharmacological intervention and inform rehabilitative care for those individuals suffering from symptoms of fatigue in PASC.
