Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change (Post - Pre) From Baseline in Visual Analog Scale of Pain Intensity (VASPI) of Memorial Pain Assessment Card
Visual analog scale of pain intensity. The minimum score is 0. The maximum score is 10. Higher scores represent worse pain intensity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change (Post - Pre) From Baseline in Visual Analog Scale of Pain Relief (VASPR) of Memorial Pain Assessment Card
Visual analog scale of Pain Relief. The minimum score is 0. The maximum score is 10. Higher scores represent greater pain relief.
Change (Post- Pre) From Baseline in Visual Analog Scale of Mood (VASMOOD) of Memorial Pain Assessment Card
Visual analog scale of mood. The minimum score is 0. The maximum score is 10. Higher scores represent better mood.
Change (Post - Pre) From Baseline in Tursky Scale of Memorial Pain Assessment Card
Pain adjectives scale. The minimum score is 1. The maximum score is 7. Higher scores represent worse pain.
Length of Stay in Minutes
Length of stay (in minutes) in acute care clinic
Amount of Hydromorphone
Amount of Hydromorphone received in acute care clinic following intervention
Change (Post - Pre) From Baseline in Numeric Pain Rating (NPR)
Numeric pain rating between 0-10 before and after admission to acute care clinic. The minimum score is 0. The maximum score is 10. Higher scores represent worse pain.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to: 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: Adult patients with SCD who listen to their preferred music for 20 minutes without the presence of a music therapist (music listening group) Adult patients with SCD who receive standard care alone (control group) Determine the feasibility (delivery, acceptability, and usefulness) of the music therapy intervention for pain management
