Dietary Intervention for Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome
This study is looking at whether a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet can help reduce fatigue and improve physical function in people aged 50 and older who have Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS), also known as Long COVID. You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either a personalized dietary plan with weekly group sessions, or an attention control group receiving general health education. Researchers will measure your fatigue and physical function at the beginning, and then at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks to see if the dietary changes make a difference. The study aims to enroll 56 participants and is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is a randomized controlled trial involving 56 participants aged 50 and older. Participants will be assigned to either a dietary intervention group or an attention control group.
- What's involved
- Participants will be involved for 16 weeks, with assessments at baseline, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks. The dietary intervention group will have weekly group sessions.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 16 weeks, which is the end of the trial.
