In 2017, for the first time ever, the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG) World Congress featured a pre-conference workshop on the topic of pain and aging. The workshop, titled “Pain and Aging: Measurement, Mechanisms, and Management,” and held July 23 in beautiful—and even sunny—San Francisco, US, featured many of the world’s leading experts on pain and aging. Eighty-six attendees from 24 countries gathered to listen to talks on pain epidemiology and assessment, biopsychosocial contributions to pain, pain and comorbidities, pain treatment, and incorporation of the social and behavioral sciences into pain research in elderly populations.
