Webinar: Sickle Cell Pain Management
Sickle Cell Pain Management
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?
