Integrative Training Program for Pediatric Sickle Cell Pain
NCT06691867 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This research aims to answer the question: does a group training program specifically for teens with chronic sickle cell disease (SCD) pain that teaches skills to strengthen the mind and body help improve everyday functioning and reduce pain symptoms? The program will be tailored to address challenges related to frequent or chronic sickle cell pain and may improve participants' physical and emotional health. The program, called I-STRONG for SCD (Integrative Strong Body and Mind Training for Sickle Cell Disease), may help improve everyday functioning and pain symptoms in teens with chronic pain related to SCD. The research team aims to determine how participants (teens and parents) respond to this program.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06691867
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06691867 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 155 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Emory University, which has 1,434 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Sickle Cell Disease appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which I-STRONG is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06691867 reports 4 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Georgia, Connecticut, Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
