Could an ADHD pill help kids with sickle cell disease focus in school?

NCT ID NCT07226219

Summary

This study is testing if a daily ADHD medication called methylphenidate is practical, safe, and acceptable for children with sickle cell disease who struggle with attention, memory, and thinking. About 30 children, aged 8 to 18, will take the medication once a day for four weeks. Researchers will check if families can stick to the routine, monitor for side effects, and see if the children's focus and schoolwork improve.
