A clinical trial for low dose naltrexone, which ends in December, is being run out of the Complex Chronic Diseases Program at B.C. Women’s Hospital and the post-COVID-19 recovery clinics in British Columbia. In the study description, Naltrexone could help to reduce pain and inflammation and improve well-being and immune function. The study is intended to demonstrate whether low doses of the drug could benefit a large number of people with post-COVID fatigue syndrome.
