Summary

This study tests a small device that gently stimulates nerves in the ear to see if it can help relieve pain in children with sickle cell disease during a pain crisis. About 20 children hospitalized for pain will try the device. The main goal is to see if kids can tolerate it and find it helpful, while also checking if it reduces pain and inflammation.
