Chronic Pain Management in the Elderly
- A lot of this research depends on which study you are looking at, but typically most studies report that between 45% and 80% of the elderly in nursing homes report pain
- I'm going to be focusing on two studies in particular, one of which interviewed 66 nursing home residents and
- Found that 50 of them (75.7%) reported being frequently troubled by pain or had experienced pain of a noteworthy nature within two weeks
