This trial explores whether songwriting can help reduce anxiety in teenagers living with sickle cell disease. Researchers want to understand if writing and performing songs feels practical, acceptable, and truly helpful for managing the emotional challenges that come with this condition. If this works, songwriting could become a simple, creative tool to help young people feel calmer and more in control.
Adolescents with sickle cell disease often experience significant anxiety related to their condition and treatment. This study exists to find new, creative ways—beyond traditional medicine—to help these teenagers manage stress and anxiety as part of their overall care.
