Pain control in the elderly
Acute or chronic pain is one of the most common complaints of older adults. Evaluation and treatment of pain syndromes in older adults can be difficult. Cognitive impairment, especially in home-care patients, may cause the clinician to question the reliability of pain complaints. Pain syndromes such as acute myocardial infarction and intra-abdominal emergencies often present atypically or are even absent in older adults.
