Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Headache is one of the most common neurological manifestations of COVID-19. However, it is unclear whether chronic headache after the initial diagnosis, is associated with ongoing damage of the central nervous system. We investigate cpost-COVID-19 patients with persistent headache lasting longer than 3 weeks, to hospitalized acute COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms and to other non-COVID-19 disease-controls. Readout are neurologial and glial biomarkers in CSF.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Measurements of neuronal and glial markers in CSF were performed on a SIMOA analyzer (Quanterix) using the Neurology 4-Plex A (Nf-L, Tau, GFAP, UCH-L1) kit.
