Abstract

Patients with neurocognitive impairments can provide particular challenges in regard to treatment of pain. Difficulties may arise in assessment of pain, communication, treatment, confirmation of effect of intervention, or in all phases. As a result, these patients are at risk for poor pain management, with extremes of under- or over-treatment of pain. Caregivers’ input and contextual clues can be of significant help, provided this information is appropriately interpreted. Validated clinical scales play a key role in this patient population.
