Scientists probe silent stroke risk in young sickle cell patients
NCT ID NCT04406818
Summary
This study aims to understand how blood flow and oxygen delivery affect brain development in children and young adults with sickle cell anemia. Researchers will use MRI scans and a special breathing test to measure how well blood vessels in the brain can expand when needed. The goal is to learn why some children with sickle cell develop brain changes or 'silent strokes' and how this might impact long-term brain health.
