Study summary

This is a prospective, longitudinal study involving 300 participants for a single visit to compare Long COVID-19 neurocutaneous biosignatures with those of other disorders affecting the sensory and autonomic nervous system.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, longitudinal study involving 300 participants for a single visit to compare Long COVID-19 neurocutaneous biosignatures with those of other disorders affecting the sensory and autonomic nervous system. The evaluations will include clinical assessments, neurologic exams, patient reported outcome surveys, and skin biopsies from three locations. Data will be collected on the amount of P-SYN in cutaneous nerve fibers. The cohorts of interest are as follows:

  1. 100 participants with Long COVID-19 defined by NIH PASC criteria
  2. 100 participants with acute COVID-19 who tested positive for COVID-19 without persistent symptoms defined WHO criteria
  3. 50 participants with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
  4. 50 participants with diabetic neuropathy

There are no plans for additional visits at this time.

Study population

Male and females ages 18-80 who have been diagnosed with one of the following:

1. Long COVID defined by NIH PASC criteria OR 2. Acute COVID who tested positive for COVID without persistent symptoms OR 3. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) OR 4. Diabetic neuropathy

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Long COVID-19 defined by NIH PASC criteria OR
  • Acute COVID-19 who tested positive for COVID-19 without persistent symptoms OR
  • Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) OR
  • Diabetic neuropathy

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical evidence of severe peripheral vascular disease
  • History of ulceration, poor wound healing or vascular claudication
  • History of allergic reaction to local anesthesia (for collection)
  • Use of oral anticoagulants (aspirin or Plavix alone is allowed)
  • History of a bleeding disorder
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pathology and nervous system changes that occur in patients suffering from sensory and autonomic function changes

    This is a single site study of subjects with Long COVID, subject with a previous positive COVID test without persistent symptoms, and POTS subjects and diabetics. Neurocutaneous biosignatures will provide insight into the pathology and nervous system changes that occur in patients suffering from sensory and autonomic function changes.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Nov 2023 to primary completion in Dec 2025, 25 months.

Of 98 non-industry observational studies under Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 39. This study's 25 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 105 studies reached it within 27 months; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 39.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 2, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
