Sickle cell disease is a congenital blood disorder affecting hemoglobin molecule. It leads to a rigid, sickle like shape red blood cell. Most people with sickle cell disease have severe painful episodes called vaso-occlusive crises. However, the frequency, severity, and duration of these crises vary tremendously. The pain is classified into two types, nociception pain which is intact peripheral or central nervous system and neuropathic pain which is initiated by dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system. Despite the pain being the most common complication of sickle cell disease, there is a lack of novel pain treatments. Pain killers including opioid have continued to be the main stay of therapy over the past several decades. A non-conventional treatments for pain were applied effectively to avoid the serious systemic side effects of the pharmaceutical pain killers.

“…For the subset of skills training therapies that involved physical contact, massage (27,28,31), acupuncture (29,30), healing touch (32), and aquatic rehabilitation (33) were tested. The three massage studies found statistically significant reductions in sensory pain scores, in addition to reduction in opioid use and number of hospitalizations (28).…”

Context Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a life-threatening condition that affects more than seven million people worldwide. The most common complication experienced by persons living with SCD is pain. Evidence supports the use of non-pharmacologic therapies in managing psychological and social complications of pain in persons with SCD, but there is little consensus if these approaches can also be applied for the treatment of pain in SCD. Objectives To describe and synthesize the use of non-pharmacological therapies for reducing pain of any type and origin in persons SCD. Methods A literature search was conducted using PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase. Databases were searched using the following terms: sickle cell, pain, and non-pharmacological therapies. Interventions were graded for methodological quality, and categorized as 1) peer-support group therapies, 2) educational/psychological therapies, and 3) skill-based therapies. Results Twenty-eight non-pharmacological interventions for persons with SCD were examined. Of these studies, a wide variety of non-pharmacological interventions were tested. Twelve studies yielded significant improvements in pain, three studies reported no positive effect or differences between experimental and control conditions on pain or a pain-related outcome, and one study reported a negative or detrimental intervention effect. Conclusion Approximately half of the studies reviewed demonstrated success in alleviating pain, suggesting that patients are able to use non-pharmacological interventions to reduce pain with some degree of success. Questions still remain regarding the efficacy and generalizability of these interventions for persons with SCD.

“…One case report by Tinti et al found a reduction in pain in a 32 year old SCD female following an aquatic rehabilitation program. [34] This mild exercise program incorporated stretching, aerobic exercise, and relaxation administered in two 45 minute sessions per week for 5 weeks. In a separate clinical study, oxidative stress markers in SCD patients following mild to moderate exercise did not differ from healthy controls.…”

Sickle cell disease (SCD), a hemoglobinopathy, can cause sickling of red blood cells, resulting in vessel blockage, stroke, anemia, inflammation, and extreme pain. A vast majority of SCD patients experience pain on a chronic basis, and many turn to opioids to provide limited relief. The side effects that come with chronic opioid use push for research into understanding the specific mechanisms of SCD-associated chronic pain. Current advances in SCD-associated pain have focused on alterations in the pain pathway including nociceptor sensitization and endogenous pain inducers. This article reviews the underlying pathophysiology of SCD, potential pain mechanisms, current treatments and their mechanism of action, and future directions of SCDassociated pain management. The information provided could help propel research in SCD-associated chronic pain and uncover novel treatment options for
