Mechanistic Studies of Psilocybin in Headache Disorders
Testing how psilocybin may affect migraine headache symptoms
📍 VA Connecticut Healthcare System · West Haven, CT · Get directions →
In previous clinical trial work, the investigators observed lasting reductions in headache burden after limited dosing of psilocybin. This purpose of this study is to examine potential sources for this observed effect.
- Sickle cell disease
Prophylactic Transfusion In Pregnant in Women With Sickle Cell Disease
Testing whether routine red blood cell transfusions in pregnancy reduce sickle cell flare-ups or
📍 Grady Health System · Atlanta, GA · Get directions →
The goal of this study is to determine if there is a positive effect of prophylactic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion of leukoreduced, ABO, Rh (D/Cc/Ee) and Kell matched blood compared to standard of care on the number of episodes of acute sickle cell disease (SCD) manifestations or pregnancy-related complications requiring acute health care encounters (acute care/ER/Hospital visits) or resulting in death over the entirety of pregnancy until 2 months post-partum in women with SCD. RBC transfusion is the only disease-modifying therapy for pregnant women with SCD, and it is considered a standard treatment option however, there exists no consensus on the role of transfusion therapy in preventing SCD-related pregnancy complications.
