Abstract

Pain can be a long-lasting and enduring problem for sickle cell disease patients. Most are experiencing severe pain that endures for several hours up to a few days, which can be very challenging to treat and manage. This project evaluates mindfulness's effectiveness as a non-pharmacological intervention for sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. In the adult population with SCD, what is the impact of incorporating mindfulness into pain management?
