About the session:

Pain management in older adults poses additional challenges. Chronic pain is a common factor related to age, co-morbidities, and side effects from medications. One of the key factors is to identify the source of the pain and complete a comprehensive assessment. A comprehensive evaluation of pain is necessary to determine the selection of treatment, including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological options. Pain often goes unrecognized in those with dementia and can significantly impact their quality of life.
