Official Title: Exploring Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Technologies for Assessment of Muscle Physiology, Tissue Oxygenation, and Blood Flow in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)

Brief Summary: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder of the blood.SCD can injure the smallest blood vessels, which can cause pain and damage organs all over the body.Some treatments are available, but researchers need better ways to monitor the effects of these treatments.An imaging technique called near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may be helpful.Objective:To test NIRS as a tool for measuring oxygen levels, blood flow, and the makeup of skin and muscle in patients with SCD.Eligibility:People aged 18 years and older…
