NC Testing in LC & POTS (NCT05914649)
Neurocognitive Testing in Long COVID and Postural Tachycardia Syndrome Patients With Normal Saline: A Pilot Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID (PASC, or "Long COVID") experience cognitive dysfunction. The investigators will test the hypothesis that 999 mL of IV saline will improve cognitive function in patients with POTS and Long COVID compared to placebo (50 mL of saline).
