Decoding the Complexity of Pain in Older Adults: Differentiating Types and Tailoring Multidisciplinary Approaches
Abstract
Pain in older people is a multifaceted phenomenon influenced by physiological, psychological, and social changes associated with ageing. This chapter decodes the complexity of pain by differentiating between acute, chronic, nociceptive, neuropathic, and psychogenic pain, emphasising the nuances in older populations. Drawing on the available research, it explores age-specific pain assessment challenges and highlights the necessity for interdisciplinary, person-centred strategies. Innovative technological interventions and integrative therapies are discussed to illustrate how multidisciplinary approaches can be tailored to meet the unique needs of older adults, promoting dignity, functionality, and quality of life.
