The Alliance Long COVID-19 Treatment Trial
Development of a 2-stage nutraceutical treatment protocol for adults with long-COVID-19 syndrome, exploring underlying pathophysiology and treatment effectiveness
The study has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Commitee EC00436, and is registered at the ANZCTR clinical trial registry: ACTRN12622001204730p
