Approximately 100,000 Black Americans have SCD; but a small subset has a disproportionate number of hospitalizations for acute vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) pain. Their increased hospitalization frequency is associated with high opioid analgesic use, and higher risk of early death. The burden of SCD-related pain worsens, and chronic pain develops as adolescents age to become adults. We hypothesize that Black Adolescents &amp; Young Adults (AYAs) with SCD who require frequent hospitalizations for acute VOC pain have a greater prevalence of significant pharmacogenetic pain variants (genotypes) that influence pain severity and opioid analgesic effects (phenotype).</div><div>The purpose of this study is to determine if there are significant pharmacogenetic associations with hospitalization frequency in a cohort of 45 Black AYAs with SCD.</div><div>In this prospective exploratory study, a commercial pharmacogenomics panel was used to determine prevalence of 8 highly polymorphic genes that may influence analgesic effects. Here we report the association of the number of hospitalizations 12 months prior to study enrollment and pharmacogenetic results from 45 Black AYAs with SCD. These are initial results from a larger study of pain variants (genetics of pain susceptibility, pain sensitivity &amp; pharmacogenetics) from Black AYAs with SCD.</div><div>Results: CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, COMT, OPRM1, and SLC64A genotypes were obtained from 45 Black AYAs with SCD, (Mean &amp; Median age = 15 years, Range 10-23) who had 0 to 21 (Mean 2, SD 4, Median 1) hospitalizations for VOC in the 12 months prior to obtaining genotypes.

Battlefield auricular acupressure (BAA) is a standardized AA protocol used in the Veteran's Health Administration as a self-management technique for acute and chronic pain control. There is scant literature regarding its effectiveness and acceptability in patients with chronic pain.</div><div>Purpose: The purposes of this feasibility pilot were to determine the acceptability of BAA as adjunct non-pharmacologic pain management in patients admitted to an inpatient chronic pain/addiction service and to obtain preliminary data on impact on pain and associated outcomes.</div><div>Methods: This study used a pre post-test design. Two nurse practitioners (NPs) on the inpatient pain/addiction service were trained and competency confirmed. Twenty-one adult patients meeting inclusion criteria with a diagnosis of chronic pain were enrolled. A study team member obtained informed consent and collected data. NPs placed AA seeds according to the BAA protocol. Patients were instructed to apply pressure to the seeds 3 to 6 times per day. Outcome measures included total daily morphine milligram equivalents (MME), first morning pain (Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 0-10), anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7), and sleep disturbance (PROMIS).
