Birth control shot tested as potential pain reliever for sickle cell disease
NCT ID NCT06665997
Summary
This study is testing whether a common injectable birth control medication (Depo-Provera) can reduce the frequency of painful episodes in women with sickle cell disease. Adult women with sickle cell who regularly experience pain will first be observed for 3 months without hormonal contraception, then receive the shot and be followed for another 3 months. Researchers will track pain episodes and measure blood markers to see if the treatment helps.
