Frequently Asked Questions

Long COVID is generally defined as symptoms persisting more than 12 weeks after COVID infection that cannot be explained by another diagnosis. Common symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, and exercise intolerance.

Current UK trials are investigating antivirals (Nirmatrelvir), anti-inflammatory drugs, immunomodulatory therapies, structured rehabilitation programmes, and treatments targeting specific symptoms like brain fog and exercise intolerance.

Requirements vary. Some trials require documented positive COVID test, while others accept clinical diagnosis based on symptoms. The HEAL-COVID and other major UK trials have different criteria.
