Long COVID linked to potential brainstem damage

Publication date: Oct 12, 2024

This allowed researchers to detect microscopic changes in the brainstem that may contribute to long COVID symptoms. As the world continues to grapple with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers are uncovering the long-term effects of the virus on brain health. The study involved 30 participants who had been hospitalized with severe COVID-19, with brain scans conducted between 93 and 548 days post-treatment. Many individuals report experiencing debilitating issues like breathlessness, fatigue and brain fog. Researchers acknowledge that further investigation is necessary to determine how to prevent or repair the damage caused by COVID-19. Dr.
