Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of an at-home MMT treatment in patients with cognitive dysfunction related to PASC, and to collect data on safety and efficacy to inform the design of larger clinical studies. A prospective randomized controlled study of 30 participants with PASC and moderate to severe cognitive dysfunction. Total study duration will be 8 weeks, including 4 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks of untreated follow up.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Active device

The active device will generate a low amplitude magnetic field. 20 participants will be randomized to this arm.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pascal device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The study devices consist of a tabletop Console with user interface and a head-worn applicator (Headset) that is connected via coaxial cable. The Headset is positioned on the head per instructions, and then the study subject powers on the device by pressing the power button and initiates a 15-minute treatment by pressing the start button. LED lights on the console count down during the treatment to indicate time remaining and, once the treatment is complete, the device automatically powers off.

Sham device

The sham device will not generate a low amplitude magnetic field. 10 participants will be randomized to this arm.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The sham device will look identical to the active device and will have the same indicator lights and sounds, but will not emit magnetic field therapy.
