About this trial

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of an at-home MMT treatment in patients with cognitive dysfunction related to acquired brain injury, Long COVID, traumatic brain injury, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), and other neurodegenerative diagnoses including but not limited to Alzheimer's disease and to collect data on safety and efficacy to inform the design of larger clinical studies.

Secondary outcomes

1

BrainCheck

BrainCheck is a computerized cognitive assessment battery evaluating attention, executive function, memory, and processing speed. Individual task scores are combined to generate a composite cognitive score that is normalized against age-adjusted reference populations. Composite score from 0-200. Higher scores indicate better cognitive performance. Change in composite score from baseline to Week 12 will be evaluated.

Time frame
Week 1 and Week 12
2

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a 14-item self-report questionnaire assessing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Each item is scored from 0 to 3. The measure generates separate anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) subscale scores ranging from 0-21, and a total score ranging from 0-42. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

Time frame
Week 1 and Week 12
3

PROMIS Sleep Disturbance

The PROMIS Sleep Disturbance measure assesses perceived sleep quality and sleep-related impairment. Raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the reference population. Higher scores indicate greater sleep disturbance.

Time frame
Week 1 and Week 12
4

Neuro-QoL Cognitive Function (Short Form)

The Neuro-QoL Cognitive Function short form assesses perceived cognitive abilities in everyday life. Raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 relative to the reference population. Higher scores indicate better perceived cognitive function.

Time frame
Week 1 and Week 12
