Computerized Cognitive Remediation of Long COVID Symptoms in Older Adults<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The purpose of the present study is to help address this public health crisis by determining whether computerized \"brain-training\" treatment has potential for improving thinking, mood, and other aspects of day-to-day functioning in older adults with Long COVID. There are two main aims of the present study. The first aim is to simply determine the \"feasibility\" of using brain-training treatment in older adults with Long COVID. This includes examining whether Long COVID patients are willing to engage in the treatment and whether they find the treatment acceptable and credible. The second aim is to gather preliminary data on whether the brain-training treatment appears to improve memory, thinking, mood, and other aspects of daily functioning in older adults with Long COVID.<\/p>\n

Mito-LUTS: A Pilot Study of the Effect of MitoQ on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Older Women With Metabolic Syndrome<\/h3>\n

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) have a high incidence, with well-documented negative effects on the quality of life of affected individuals. This study will look to see if a supplement, MitoQ, can improve bothersome bladder symptoms (including urgency, frequency, nocturia, and incontinence) that can occur with aging and metabolic syndrome.<\/p>\n
