Biophysical markers of the peripheral vasoconstriction response to pain in sickle cell disease.

Biophysical markers of the peripheral vasoconstriction response to pain in sickle cell disease.

Painful vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), a complication of sickle cell disease (SCD), occurs when sickled red blood cells obstruct flow in the microvasculature.
