Abstract

Pain management may play an important role in contributing to optimal quality of life in the elderly population. Pain lowers overall quality of life in part by decreasing function and by amplifying the psychologicic stress of aging. A comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to pain management, with preservation and restoration of function in older adults, is the cornerstone of an effective pain management program.
