Summary
This study tests whether adding lidocaine, a numbing medicine, to standard pain treatment can lower the amount of strong opioids needed during severe sickle cell pain crises. About 104 adults with sickle cell disease who are in the intensive care unit for a pain crisis will take part. The goal is to see if lidocaine helps control pain while reducing opioid use and side effects.
