CICERO

The CICERO study is investigating cognitive impairment in people experiencing symptoms of long Covid (cognitive Covid).

Cognitive impairment (sometimes known as ‘brain fog’) is recognised as one of the major symptoms of long Covid and is estimated to affect up to 75% of people.

CICERO (Cognitive Impairment in Long Covid: PhEnotyping and RehabilitatiOn) is exploring the relationships between cognitive impairment and other symptoms of long Covid including, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance

Findings from this study will be used to understand if neuropsychological rehabilitation can help people with cognitive Covid return to normal brain function.

This study is being carried out by a team of researchers at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust on behalf of the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.
