Long COVID Brain Fog Linked to Inflammation and Stress Markers

A new study comparing long COVID patients with fully recovered individuals has found that those with persistent cognitive symptoms, like brain fog, show higher brain inflammation and reduced capacity to handle stress. The study revealed lower levels of nerve growth factor and elevated inflammatory markers in the long COVID group.

Long COVID’s Brain Fog Mysteries Unlocked

Researchers made a groundbreaking discovery in the study of Long COVID, identifying that the integrity of blood vessels in the brain is compromised in patients experiencing brain fog and cognitive decline. The study utilized a novel MRI technique to reveal "leakiness" in the brain's blood vessels, providing an objective method to distinguish patients with neurological symptoms of Long COVID.

What’s Driving ‘Brain Fog’ in People With COVID-19?

Many patients report symptoms of "brain fog" and confusion as a result of COVID-19 infection. Researchers report inflammatory molecules in the cerebral spinal fluid could be the cause of brain fog associated with coronavirus. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as steriods, could help alleviate the symptoms of COVID brain.
