The Effects of a Single Music Therapy Session on the Pain of Adult Patients With Sickle Cell Disease: A Mixed Methods Study
The purpose of this research study is to:
1. Investigate the effects of a single 20-minute music therapy intervention with a music
therapist on the pain intensity, pain relief, and mood of adult patients with sickle
cell disease as compared to:
1. Adult patients with SCD who listen to their preferred music for 20 minutes without
the presence of a music therapist (music listening group)
2. Adult patients with SCD who receive standard care alone (control group)
2. Determine the feasibility (delivery, acceptability, and usefulness) of the music therapy
intervention for pain management
