The paradigm for understanding pain in patients with sickle Cell disease (SCD) has changed. It is now understood that these patients experience acute and often chronic pain. We observed the phenomena of chronic pain and its' management in SCD patients was often uncomfortable for the outpatient infusion nurses.
