Scientists probe hidden link between blood vessels and sickle cell pain crises

NCT ID NCT07277023

Summary

This study aimed to understand how problems with small and large blood vessels affect the severity of sickle cell disease in adults. Researchers measured blood flow, artery stiffness, and physical fitness in 49 participants with sickle cell anemia to see how these factors relate to pain crises and other complications. The goal was to gather knowledge to help guide future treatments, not to test a new therapy.
