Peer Support for Adolescents and Emerging Adults With Sickle Cell Pain: Study Overview The PRESENCE study explores if digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help manage pain in adolescents and young adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). SCD causes painful episodes, and traditional treatments like opioids might not always work well. This study examines digital CBT's role in reducing pain and opioid use. CBT is a therapy that helps manage pain by changing thought patterns. The participants (aged 16-39) will be split into three groups: digital CBT with peer support, digital CBT on their own, and usual care. The study will track pain, mood, and use of pain medication over time using a mobile app. The goal is to see if digital CBT helps lessen pain and improve mood.
  • The study lasts 12 months with assessments at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months.
  • Participants need a smartphone with internet access to use the study app.
  • Compensation and exact number of visits are not specified in the details provided.
