Interventions

  • WATER+CT — BEHAVIORAL
    This is an 8-month long two phase intervention. The first phase consists of 6 months of thrice weekly pool-based exercise occurring at VA Palo Alto. After completion of the 6 month long pool based exercise, participants transition to ten sessions of cognitive training that will occur over 2 months at the VA Palo Alto.
  • Usual Care — BEHAVIORAL
    This condition involves receipt of educational materials about brain health and healthy lifestyles as well as regular contact with study staff.

Study Details

This two-year study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of an exercise + cognitive training program to improve neurological symptoms of long-COVID. This is a two-phased trial: 1) an exercise phase and 2) a cognitive training phase. The exercise phase will be an aquatic based exercise program. A combination exercise + memory training programs designed for persons with cognitive impairment have significantly improved memory more than other single intervention groups (exercise only, cognitive training only) and given the success of combination training programs with healthy adults, it is important to adapt these programs for persons with neurological symptoms of long-COVID.
