Ultrasound of the chest during sickle cell pain crisis
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a simple, safe ultrasound of the chest to look at the lungs and surrounding area during a sickle cell pain crisis. The goal is to see if this imaging can help detect early signs of a serious complication called acute chest syndrome, which could lead to faster treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a bedside ultrasound to check for acute chest syndrome in children and young adults with sickle cell disease who are in the hospital. The goal is to see if this simple scan can help diagnose the condition early.
This trial tests whether CPAP, a breathing machine that helps keep your airways open, can improve oxygen levels in adults with sickle cell disease who are hospitalized for acute chest syndrome. It aims to see if CPAP can help you breathe better and recover faster.
This study tests if using a bedside ultrasound (a quick, painless scan) of the chest and lungs can help doctors better understand and manage pain crises in people with sickle cell disease. If you are in the hospital for a severe pain crisis, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help doctors quickly spot and treat acute chest syndrome in children with sickle cell disease. It may lead to faster, safer care for kids in the intensive care unit.
This trial tests whether adding acupuncture to standard pain treatments can help manage pain in people with sickle cell disease. It involves brain scans, questionnaires, and acupuncture sessions to see if this approach reduces pain and improves quality of life.
This study looks at how children with sickle cell disease experience and manage pain crises, known as vaso-occlusive crises. The goal is to better understand these events to improve care for children living with this condition.
