Scientists hunt for clues to fatigue in Low-Platelet patients
NCT ID NCT06979765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks for substances in the blood that might be linked to fatigue in people with low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). Researchers think a protein called BDNF, which is stored in platelets, could play a role. They will measure BDNF levels in 280 patients and healthy volunteers and compare them with fatigue scores. The goal is to better understand why fatigue happens, not to test a new treatment.
