Dr. Knopman added that a central challenge in cognitive Long COVID is that the underlying biology remains unclear, which makes designing effective treatments difficult. “Until the biology is better understood, I think it’s going to be a challenge to move ahead,” he said.

I do wonder if it's the whole "You can't tell me what to do" thing. Also, their brains are fried from having #COVID19 too many times. #COVIDBrain

News Release 8-Jul-2026
Commonly used drugs show small benefit for long Covid fatigue

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1135110

Objective measures would have been more revealing for an open-label trial particularly with "usual care" which they all received.

Eye problems after COVID-19 can now be explained
https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1134768

"The impaired pupil function was furthermore linked to headaches, difficulty reading text & in focusing the eyes"

It would be interesting to know how many had general fatigue, PEM, etc. People with ME/CFS can suffer from eye problems.
