In collaboration with various experts from Amsterdam UMC we have been awarded a ZonMw grant focused on understanding whether treatment with the SSRI fluvoxamine can reduce complaints of severe fatigue, cognitive problems and PEM post-COVID. This grant is led by Pythia Nieuwkerk and will bring forth some very important findings that may benefit the patients.
