Sickle Cell Patients: Attend This Webinar And Earn $50!

This Friday, February 7 from 10AM-1PM Pacific Time, the National Academies consensus study committee will host an online information-gathering webinar on Pain Management and living with sickle cell disease (SCD).

The webinar will focus on pain management interventions and strategies, with special attention to questions such as:

  • When and how often are parenteral opioid pain medications used to manage SCD pain crises?
  • What are indicators or contraindicators for their use?
  • How have best practices regarding opioid pain medication changed over the past 10 years?
  • What circumstances or factors might lead providers not to prescribe opioid pain medication, even when advised by current best practices?
  • What other pain medications might be administered in the context of a severe pain crisis?
  • What can alternative medications tell us about a patient’s symptom severity?
  • What non-pharmacological interventions, including traditional and alternative therapies and home remedies, are available to manage pain associated with SCD?
  • What treatments or interventions used for acute pain crises are equivalent to parenteral opioid medication in terms of medical severity of the underlying acute crisis?
