Managing acute and chronic pain in sickle cell disease.

King's College Hospital, London.

Abstract

Acute painful episodes among patients with sickle cell disease may occur in any body part or several sites simultaneously. The reasons for inadequate pain relief for this patient group are complex. Prompt, accurate pain assessment is the cornerstone of effective pain management and a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team strategy is essential, particularly for managing patients with frequent acute pain or chronic pain.
