| Annotation | This guidance document reviews the epidemiology and management of pain in older adults via a literature review of published research. Its aim is to inform health professionals who work with older people on best practice on the management of pain and to identify where there are gaps in the evidence that require further research. Main topics covered in the review include the prevalence of pain in older people, attitudes of stoicism and other beliefs of older people concerning pain, communication in pain assessment and management, pharmacology, other interventional therapies, psychological interventions and complementary therapies.
