Hanlon JT, Perera S, Sevick MA, Rodriguez KL, Jaffe EJ. Pain and its treatment in older nursing home hospice/palliative care residents. Journal of The American Medical Directors Association. 2010 Oct 1; 11(8):579-83.
Pain symptoms were present in more than one third of older nursing home hospice/palliative care residents despite the use of opioids in two thirds of those who had reported or shown evidence of any pain. Additional future studies are needed to improve the management of pain in older residents receiving hospice/palliative care in US nursing homes.
