Long COVID Ultrasound Trial
Recruiting
This research is being performed to study whether an investigational ultrasound treatment of the spleen can reduce the symptoms of Long COVID by reducing inflammation in the body. Ultrasound is widely used in human medicine because it is designed to be safe, non-invasive, and painless. The same kind of ultrasound that is used for imaging (for example, to visualize babies in utero) may be able to treat Long COVID.
