NCT ID NCT04406818

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study looks at how blood flow and metabolism affect brain development in children with sickle cell anemia. Researchers will use MRI scans to measure brain blood vessel function and compare results between children with sickle cell and healthy controls. The goal is to understand why some children may be at higher risk for silent strokes or slower brain growth.
