Advancing Feasibility and Acceptability of Digital Cognitive Rehabilitation in Sickle Cell Disease

Testing digital brain exercises for sickle cell disease.

Recruiting
7-16 years
All
Phase N/A

This study is for kids and teens aged 7-16 who have sickle cell disease (SCD). SCD is a serious condition that affects many people worldwide, causing problems with blood flow and oxygen delivery in the body. This can lead to cognitive issues, like trouble with working memory—the part of our memory we use for holding and manipulating information in short periods.

The study involves a program called Cogmed+, which is a special training tool to help improve working memory. It combines digital exercises with social support, like family events and help from a peer guide, to make the training easier to stick with. The program lasts for 5-8 weeks, and participants do activities at home on a tablet 3-5 times a week. Kids also have weekly video calls with a coach for extra guidance.

  • Study lasts 5-8 weeks with 3-5 home sessions per week.
  • Participants receive support through video calls and family events.
  • The study aims to improve working memory in youth with SCD.
