Brief description of study
Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine are looking for healthy teens and adults to take part in a study to learn more about the scientific basis of sickle cell disease and to assess the effectiveness of a new treatment approach in managing the chronic and acute pain in subjects with sickle cell disease.
We are looking for healthy volunteers to compare to people who have sickle cell disease to help researchers gain further knowledge about sickle cell disease and a new pain management strategy being studied.
