Phase N/A

This study investigates the relationship between thrombocytopenia and symptoms such as fatigue and cognitive disorders. Thrombocytopenia is a condition where there is a lower than normal number of platelets in the blood, which can lead to excessive bleeding. It can be caused by reduced production of platelets in the bone marrow, increased destruction of platelets, or increased sequestration in the spleen. In some cases, thrombocytopenia may also be associated with cognitive disorders, though the exact mechanism is not well understood.

Participants in the study will undergo procedures to assess their platelet levels and symptoms of fatigue and cognitive function. The study will include questionnaires to detect cognitive disorders. The hypothesis is that the decrease in circulating neurotrophic factor levels due to reduced secretion from platelet granules may explain the fatigue experienced by patients with thrombocytopenia.

  • Who can participate: Adults or minors with diagnosed thrombocytopenia, either constitutional or autoimmune, who are not receiving SSRIs, SNRIs, or antithrombotic medications are eligible. Healthy adult volunteers matched by age and sex, not on certain medications, can also participate.
  • Study details: Participants will consent after receiving a detailed explanation of the research. The study involves monitoring platelet levels and assessing symptoms of fatigue and cognitive function. A placebo is not involved.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
