COVID UPP: COVID-19: Understanding the Post-Viral Stage

[Sly Saint]

It is a research study funded by the Center for Disease Control and conducted in partnership with Nova Southeastern University, Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine.

What is the purpose of COVID UPP?
The purpose of this study is to provide information about the experience of people who continue to have fatigue and other symptoms following a COVID-19 positive test. The study will help researchers and clinicians to understand if the illness improves or worsens over time and how similar and different long-term illness due to COVID is from other illnesses, including Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The results will help researchers and clinicians to understand what factors and treatments may be more or less likely to help resolve symptoms of COVID-19 over time.

COVID-UPP Study​

We’re nearing the finish line on our important CDC study designed to compare Long COVID to ME/CFS — a vital step toward advancing our mission. But we still need healthy control participants! We are looking for anyone who had COVID at anytime and recovered (no persistent symptoms that started with acute COVID). We particularly need: males between 55-65 years old and females between 18-50 years old. The study involves filling out health related surveys and spending a half day at our clinic (Davie or Kendall) completing on-site tests. Our evaluation includes a physical exam, cognitive tests, spirometry etc. There is a financial compensation for your time. Thank you for considering this opportunity and helping spread the word! If you’re interested in participating, please complete our COVID-UPP survey: HERE If you have any questions please email our team at postcoviduppstudy@nova.edu.
