NCT ID NCT07578675

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study uses a non-invasive brain imaging technique called fNIRS to see how anemia affects thinking and memory. Researchers will measure brain activity in 323 adults with different types of anemia and compare it to cognitive test scores. The goal is to identify which brain regions are affected and create maps that could help doctors detect cognitive decline early and guide personalized treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors detect thinking and memory problems early in people with anemia and tailor treatments to protect brain function.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve health, and the findings may not apply to all types of anemia.
