Pain

Assess all people with Sickle Cell Disease for chronic pain annually or more often as needed. This assessment should include descriptors of pain, its severity on a numerical scale, its location, factors that precipitate or relieve it, including biopsychosocial factors, and its effect on the patient’s mood, activity, employment, quality of life, and vital signs.
