What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate DAOIB as a treatment for cognitive impairments in patients with long COVID. The trial is open-label and will last 24 weeks. It focuses on assessing changes in cognitive function, mood, overall functioning, and quality of life in adults experiencing brain fog after COVID-19 infection. Participants will receive DAOIB continuously for 24 weeks, with the dose adjusted every 8 weeks based on clinical evaluation. The treatment period includes assessments at weeks 0, 8, 16, and 24. There is no placebo or comparator group in this open trial. During the study, patients will be evaluated every 8 weeks using various scales including the Alzheimer's disease assessment scale for cognition, mood and anxiety rating scales, quality of life questionnaires, and other cognitive tests. Researchers will monitor changes from baseline at each visit to understand the effects of DAOIB on long COVID cognitive symptoms.
