Abstract:
The article discusses the challenges and strategies for managing chronic pain in homebound older adults. It highlights the high prevalence of chronic pain in this population and the barriers to accessing pain care, such as mobility issues and transportation difficulties. The document emphasizes the importance of an interprofessional, integrative approach to pain management, including nonpharmacologic treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy and physical therapy, as well as careful consideration of pharmacologic options. It also calls for policy changes to improve access to pain care and further research to address the unmet needs of homebound older adults with chronic pain.
