Management of chronic pain in older adults.
This review summarized recent evidence on the assessment and management of pain in older patients. Evidence is taken from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, individual trials, and clinical guidelines. Based on their review, the authors argue that all older adults with chronic pain should undergo a comprehensive geriatric pain assessment and that a comprehensive assessment can guide selection of treatments most likely to benefit the patient and identify targets for intervention besides pain relief.
