Despite frequent episodes of severe recurrent pain in sickle cell disease (SCD), sensory
pain in outpatient adults with SCD lacks sufficient characterization. Furthermore, pivotal

and analgesic use reported by adults with SCD during routine clinic visits. Patients (N= 145;
67% female, 94% African American) completed measures on a pen-tablet computer …
