Clinical Trial Summary

Many patients do not recover following Covid infection. The resulting illness is called Long Covid. Because there is no agreed upon treatment for this ailment, the research team has decided to do an open label pilot study using non-invasive, transcutaneous stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. Inclusion criteria required the patient to fulfill criteria for having chronic fatigue syndrome. To date, fourteen patients provided evaluable data. Eight of these fulfilled the study's requirements for treatment success.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients who have had COVID and who fulfill criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome will sign IC and be mailed a parasym device with instructions its use after completing entry baseline questionnaires. Subjects will be called two, four and six weeks after beginning participation [application of electrode to left tragus with stimulus intensity at that which is just below pain threshold for 35 min a day] to ask about adverse events. At the end of 6 weeks, patients will complete these questionnaires again plus one assessing their assessment of treatment efficacy. ;
