与镰状细胞病 (SCD) 相关的疼痛经常使用阿片类药物治疗，但阿片类药物有许多副作用。需要能够改善疼痛控制的非阿片类辅助疗法。针灸是一种综合方法，已被证明对非 SCD 疼痛有效，但在 SCD 中的应用非常有限。在本报告中，我们介绍了一个学术儿科中心的经验，显示了辅助针灸治疗 SCD 儿童的可接受性、可行性和改善疼痛的经验，并建议应探索针灸作为控制 SCD 疼痛的治疗选择。
Pain associated with sickle cell disease (SCD) is frequently treated with opioids which have many side effects. There is a need for adjuvant non-opioid therapies that can improve pain control. Acupuncture, an integrative approach, has been shown to be useful in non-SCD pain conditions but has been used to a very limited extent in SCD. In this report we present a single academic pediatric center experience showing acceptability, feasibility and improved pain experience with adjuvant acupuncture therapy in children with SCD and suggest that acupuncture should be explored as a treatment option for managing pain in SCD.
