1. Investigate the effects of a single 20-minute music therapy intervention with a music therapist on the pain intensity, pain relief, and mood of adult patients with sickle cell disease as compared to:
1. Adult patients with SCD who listen to their preferred music for 20 minutes without the presence of a music therapist (music listening group)
