Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a type of rapid outpatient brain stimulation that uses magnetic fields, called accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), can treat symptoms such as brain fog, depression, and anxiety in patients with Long COVID. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is iTBS effective and feasible for reducing Long COVID symptoms? We will measure these symptoms using the Symptom Burden Questionnaire. * Are there changes in inflammatory brain chemicals associated with treatment with iTBS? We will be looking at levels of choline in the brain, which is thought to be related to inflammation. Researchers will compare sham versus active forms of iTBS to see if the active group has greater improvement in symptoms. Participants will complete symptom surveys, cognitive tests, and magnetic resonance imaging scans at the beginning, middle, and end of treatment.
Primary Outcome
Demonstrate that accelerated iTBS is effective and feasible for reducing neuro-PASC symptoms. Change in the score in the "Cognitive Function/Brain Fog Symptoms" score from the PACS: Post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome Questionnaire, where low scores are more severe symptoms compared to higher scores. Scale 1-Severly Unable to 4-Able. Higher scores show improvement in symptoms.
