Recruiting studies
- NCT06773715Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain from sickle cell disease
This study tests if using virtual reality (VR) can help children and teens with sickle cell disease feel better during a severe pain episode. You would use VR while in the hospital to see if it reduces your pain.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 8–21 - NCT07274254RecruitingPhase 3
Lidocaine for sickle cell pain crisis in intensive care
This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (lidocaine) given through a vein can help reduce the amount of strong painkillers (morphine or oxycodone) needed for a sickle cell pain crisis or acute chest syndrome. It aims to ease pain and possibly lower side effects from opioids.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07188766Recruiting
Different IV fluid amounts for sickle cell pain crisis
This study compares two ways of giving IV fluids (lighter vs. more fluids) to adults with sickle cell disease who are in the hospital for a painful crisis. The goal is to see which approach helps you feel better sooner.
Dammam, Eastern ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT07001189Recruiting
Numbing for sickle cell pain crisis: a study
This trial tests whether numbing a specific area (regional anesthesia) can reduce inflammation and pain during a sickle cell pain crisis. It may offer a new way to manage severe pain without strong medications.
Pointe-à-PitreAges 18 years+ - NCT03976180Recruiting
High-flow oxygen for painful sickle cell episodes
This trial tests whether giving high-flow oxygen can help treat a painful sickle cell “vaso-occlusive crisis” (VOC) and lower the risk of a serious lung complication. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sickle cell disease experiencing an opioid-requiring pain flare and have higher risk for lung trouble.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT06699849RecruitingPhase 2
CSL889 for sickle cell pain crisis
This trial tests a new medicine, CSL889, for people with sickle cell disease who are currently having a pain crisis (vaso-occlusive crisis). The goal is to see if it safely helps reduce the pain and speed recovery.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT06184126Recruiting
Virtual reality for sickle cell pain in the emergency room
This trial tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset, along with your usual pain treatment, can help reduce pain during a sickle cell crisis. It is for adults with sickle cell disease who are in the emergency department and receiving IV opioids for a vaso-occlusive crisis.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03353584Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain relief during sickle cell pain crises
This trial tests whether a virtual reality (VR) experience can help reduce pain during a sickle cell “vaso-occlusive crisis,” which is an episode of sudden, severe pain. It’s offered alongside the care team’s usual pain management to see if VR makes pain feel better.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 6–25 - NCT07246265Recruiting
Morphine clearance study for sickle cell crisis in ICU
This study looks at how the body clears morphine in adults with sickle cell disease who are in the intensive care unit (ICU) for a pain crisis or acute chest syndrome and are receiving morphine through a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump. The goal is to understand how kidney function affects morphine breakdown.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for vaso-occlusive crisis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9 recruiting vaso-occlusive crisis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a vaso-occlusive crisis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a vaso-occlusive crisis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
