Summary
This study tested a mobile prayer program called PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) to see if it could help adults with sickle cell disease feel less stress and pain. 40 people who had pain and used opioids took part. They listened to guided prayer recordings on a smartphone. The goal was to see if this simple, drug-free approach could improve pain, sleep, and well-being.
