Summary of Ongoing Trials of Neurological Manifestations in COVID-19 Patients.

Study ID Study Title Study Type Study Status Country Study Objective/Aim
1 Testing for dysautonomia in patients hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19): COVIDANS study Prospective cohort study Recruiting France, single center To record the long-term variability in heart rate, reflecting autonomic balance, of patients screened positive for SARS-CoV-2
2 COVID-19 prevalence and cognitive deficits in neurological patients Prospective cohort study Not yet recruiting Denmark, multicenter To investigate the COVID-19 prevalence, associated morbidity and long-term cognitive deficits in consecutive patients presenting with acute neurological symptoms
3 Cohort of patients with COVID-19 presenting neurological or psychiatric disorders (CoCo-neurosciences) Retrospective cohort study Not yet recruiting France, single center Impact of neurological or psychiatric manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection
4 Neurologic manifestations of COVID-19 in children Prospective cohort study Recruiting United States, multicenter Frequency of neurologic manifestations of COVID 19 among pediatric patients requiring hospital admission for confirmed or presumed COVID 19
5 Frequency and clinical evolution of olfactory and taste disorders in COVID-19 patients Retrospective study Enrolling by invitation France, single center To evaluate prevalence of anosmia and dysgeusia in COVID-19 diagnosed patients
6 Neurodegeneration markers and neurological course in severe Covid-19 infection Prospective, single group study Not yet recruiting France, single center Examine if indirect signs of CNS lesion are observed in association with severe Covid-19 infection using neurodegeneration markers level
7 Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of anosmia over time in clinically symptomatic patients tested for COVID-19 infection Prospective cohort study Recruiting France, single center To describe the prevalence of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction and assess the factors associated with positive SARS-CoV-2 infection
8 Acute encephalopathy in critically ill patients with COVID-19 Prospective cohort study Recruiting United States, France, multicenter Reporting the prevalence of acute encephalopathy at initial management in Intensive care or neurocritical care
9 Finding out if COVID-19 Infection can be predicted by changes in smell and/or taste Prospective cohort study Recruiting United Kingdom, single center To compare case fatality rate in COVID-19 positive with documented history of loss/reduced sense of smell and/or taste compared to COVID-19 positive with documented history of no loss/reduced sense of smell and/or taste
10 Trial evaluating the efficacy of local budesonide therapy in the management of hyposmia in COVID-19 patients without signs of severity RCT Not yet recruiting France, single center Given budesonide nasal spray to treat hyposmia associated with COVID-19
11 Anosmia rehabilitation in patients post coronavirus disease (COVID 19) RCT, 2 arm +1 control Not yet recruiting Canada, single center Budesonide with the nasal irrigations as treatment
12 Neurocognitive impairment in patients with COVID-19 Case–control prospective study
Follow-up after 3 mo
Recruiting Germany, multicenter Using biomarkers of neuroaxonal injury and scales to assess the neurocognitive performance of study participants
13 Prospective Registry of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with neuromuscular involvement Prospective cohort study Recruiting Germany, Single center Multimodal assessment of neuromuscular pathology associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection
14 Chronic fatigue etiology and recovery in COVID-19 patients: the role of fatigability Nonrandomized trial Not yet recruiting France, multicenter To determine whether deteriorated neuromuscular function is involved in the feeling of fatigue of COVID-19 patients
