As we enter the “dog days” of summer with high temperatures and heat weighing folks down throughout much of the US, it’s easy to become lethargic about one’s health, particularly when it comes to addressing issues of pain. This month, HANDI has chosen to feature several resources on the assessment and treatment of pain.
Our July/August HANDI Highlights includes links to a variety of resources that focus on the biology of pain, plus a variety of approaches to manage it. The selected content includes publications, expert recommendations, articles, and videos meant for individuals with inherited bleeding disorders and their health care providers.

For those new to HANDI Highlights, it is a monthly communication designed to connect the bleeding disorders community with timely, practical, and readily-accessible resources. The June edition was dedicated to resources on joint health.
Next Up – as Summer starts to wind down and planning for Fall semester gears up, HANDI will be tackling the many facets of ‘back to school’ preparation.
Visit NBDF’s publications homepage to access a full list of resources. Go to the HANDI homepage to learn more about our information service and read choice answers to frequently asked questions about hemophilia, von Willebrand disease , and other bleeding disorders.
