This study collects feedback through surveys, interviews, and focus groups from people affected by sickle cell disease. Your input helps the research team improve how genomic and gene-therapy information and needs are understood for patients and caregivers.
This study tests whether a common medication called methylphenidate (often used for ADHD) can help children with sickle cell disease who have attention or memory problems. If the child qualifies, the study may offer a new way to improve focus and daily functioning.
This study tests a structured program to help teens with sickle cell disease smoothly transition from pediatric care to adult care, with support for parents or legal guardians. It may help families coordinate care sooner and more confidently during this change.
This Phase 2 study tests a cognitive (thinking) training program to help teens with sickle cell disease prepare for the changes in their care as they grow older. It may help with skills like learning, attention, and planning for transition to adult care.
This trial tests whether a computer-based “attention control” training program can improve attention and daily functioning in children with sickle cell disease. To join, you must meet certain criteria and also pass an initial attention screening test during the study.
