Sleep and Pain in Sickle-Cell Disease

 

The aim of this project is to determine whether improvements in sleep by CBT reduce pain and alter brain processing of pain and cognitive stimuli by using sensory testing and MRI scans. This project is done in collaboration with Drs. Claudia Campbell and Jennifer Haythornthwaite at Johns Hopkins University.
