Long COVID and cognitive deficits: Patients benefit from individualized rehabilitation

Friday, 3 July 2026

London – People suffering from Long-COVID–related cognitive impairments appear to benefit from individualized cognitive rehabilitation. Researchers led by Martina Vanova at University College London report in JAMA Network Open that the rehabilitation helped affected individuals better achieve personally set goals than standard long-COVID care (2026; DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2026.20687).

The findings are clinically meaningful, the authors say: on the one hand given the high prevalence of cognitive impairments in people with Long COVID, and on the other because of their impact on quality of life and everyday functioning.

Is there anything we can learn from this for the upcoming DecodeME & SequenceME papers?
