Blood vessel function and thinking in sickle cell disease
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood vessel function in the fingers (using a simple test called arterial tonometry) relates to thinking and memory in people with sickle cell disease. It involves a non-invasive measurement and cognitive tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 12 and 25 years old.
- You are enrolled in the Sickle Cell Clinical Research and Intervention Program (SCCRIP).
- English is your primary language.
- You have a device with internet access (like a phone or tablet).

This study uses a PET scan to look for links between abnormal heart “filling” problems and how well blood reaches the heart muscle in people with sickle cell disease. The results may help explain early heart changes in sickle cell and guide future care.
This study measures how well blood flows through brain arteries in children with sickle cell disease using a noninvasive ultrasound test. It may help doctors better understand stroke risk and how treatments like hydroxyurea or recent care affect blood flow.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain and blood vessels are affected in children with sickle cell disease, including before and after certain treatments. It also includes healthy children for comparison and may help improve future monitoring and care.
This study collects blood and urine samples from adults to help researchers understand diseases affecting blood vessels. Your donation helps scientists develop better treatments.
This study uses a special light-based device and MRI to measure how blood vessels in the brain respond to changes. It may help researchers better understand blood flow in people with and without sickle cell disease.
This trial is testing a digital program to help improve working memory (the ability to hold and use information in your mind) for children with sickle cell disease. If you join, you'll use a computer-based training program at home and researchers will see if it works and is easy to use.
