Abstract:
The elderly represent a segment with a high incidence of pain.Consciousness impairment and language dysfunction increase the difficulty of pain assessment.At the same time, a lack of understanding of neuropathic mechanisms and assessment scales often leads to inappropriate pain assessment in the elderly with dementia.This article reviews the relationship between dementia and pain, pain assessment protocols and the use of scales in the elderly with dementia.
