Interventions

This study will be an experimental clinical trial with two parallel groups: a control group (CG) and a treatment group (TG), each composed of 10 participants (n=10 per group). Participants will be ran
allocation to the groups. The control group (CG) will receive exclusively the standard conventional treatment established for the clinical condition under study, according to current care protocols. T

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the effectiveness of an adjuvant treatment protocol with low-intensity laser for vascular photobiomodulation (VPM), using red laser at a wavelength of 660 nm, with a power of 100 mW, in pain management and modulation of hematological and blood rheological factors in black patients with Sickle Cell Disease in the southwest region of Bahia

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To describe the socioeconomic, demographic, clinical, and epidemiological characteristics of patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD);To evaluate the effectiveness of pain control through treatment with FBMV in patients with DF using the VAS and McGill scales;To monitor changes in vital signs such as mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation (SpO2) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) caused by treatment with FBMV;To evaluate the hematological changes, including the parameters of the red blood cell count, white blood cell count, platelet count, and hematimetric indices, promoted by treatment with FBMV
