  • Optimizing Pain Management in the Older Patient

    Tuesday, October 7, 2008
    Pain: CONFERENCE LINE Seminar worth 1.0 'AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™': Persistent pain is a common problem of the older patient. As the older population steadily grows, pain management is poised to become an increasingly vital facet of healthcare. Clinicians are faced with several challenges in treating the aging and older patient, in whom pain is more likely to be inadequately assessed and undertreated. Older individuals, because of numerous comorbidities, on average also take multiple medications, increasing the potential for medication errors, drug-drug interactions, and increased adverse effects. In addition, many older patients with chronic pain experience depression and anxiety, further complicating optimal pain management, functionality, and general quality of life. Added to this mix are such other concerns and obstacles as the myth that pain is a natural part of aging and that many older patients experience increased sensory and cognitive impairments. Another complication is the unjustified and irrational fear, both on the part of healthcare providers and patients, of using opioid analgesics, which are among the most effective therapeutic agents in managing various chronic and persistent pain disorders, because of the possibility of misuse and addiction to these drugs.
