Abstract:
This paper presents a review of the latest literature and guidance regarding the assessment and management of pain in older adults with dementia. The size and nature of the problem will be presented, in terms of the increasing aging population across the globe and potential for a significant increase in adults with dementia, along with the reduction in younger counterparts who will be available to provide care in the future. We will present the latest recommendations regarding how to assess pain and which tools are recommended for use underpinned by the strongest evidence. Finally, we will present the findings of the latest national (UK) guidelines for the management of pain. Recommendations will be made for future research and clinical practice.
