Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Adolescent receiving active treatment (e.g., weekly appointments with a provider) for nonpharmacological therapies (e.g, structured behavioral pain management, physical therapy, or acupuncture program) that overlap with the active phase of the study intervention (Aim 2 only)

Other illness

  • Comorbid medical conditions typically associated with pain but unrelated to SCD (e.g., rheumatologic disorders or inflammatory bowel disease)
  • Presence of a condition(s) or diagnosis, either physical or psychological, or physical exam finding that precludes participation (e.g., severe avascular necrosis with limited or non-weight bearing restrictions, significant cognitive or developmental limitations, active suicidal ideation) (Aim 2 only)

Who the study is looking for

  • Diagnosed with SCD (any genotype)
  • Score of at least 3 (indicating medium to high risk for chronic pain) on the Pediatric Pain Screening Tool
  • Stable disease-modifying treatments, if applicable, as defined by no newly initiated or significantly increased dosages (mg/kg) in the past 3 months (Aim 2 only)
  • English fluency (Aim 2 only)
