Far Infrared Radiation for Sickle Cell Pain Management
Phase 1 Study to Examine the Use of Far Infrared Radiation for Pain Management During Sickle Cell Crisis
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Painful sickle cell crises are treated with hydration and analgesics. Ischemia is an absolute or relative shortage of the blood supply to an organ. Relative shortage means the mismatch of blood supply (oxygen delivery) and blood request for adequate oxygenation of tissue.
It is hereby postulated that far infrared radiation of the body will promote blood and oxygen supply to the affected tissues. In addition, the analgesic properties of far infrared will alleviate pain due to the crisis.
