Long Covid and fatigue MRI

This study is investigating why people with long Covid experience long term fatigue, and whether this fatigue is associated with fitness level.

It will use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to look at the amount of blood flow to brain and muscle tissue, before and after exercise, in people who have long Covid and chronic fatigue. The findings will be used to help better understand why some people with long Covid develop fatigue.

This study is being carried out by researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University.
