Abstract:
Chronic pain in older adults should be explained and treated on the basis of the biopsychosocial model. With its interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach, multimodal pain therapy is the method of choice. In old age freedom from pain is usually not the primary goal. It is more important to restore the quality of life of those affected and to maintain independence and autonomy with a versatile treatment offer. This article explains the basics of multimodal pain therapy and its special features in old age.
