The authors of a recent study published in BMC Geriatrics attempted to identify whether pain is undertreated among patients with dementia. The authors enrolled 1,848 older adult patients diagnosed with dementia aged 65 years and older. The study result indicate that analgesic use was more prevalent among dementia patients in comparison to other older adult groups. However, the authors found that pain was still undertreated among older adults with dementia despite the higher usage of analgesics.”
