Keynote: Managing Pain and Dementia: Detection, Assessment and Treatment
Pain has an impact on behavior, function and quality of life for people living with dementia, but is one of
the most mismanaged conditions. The challenges of understanding and treating acute and chronic pain
for those with dementia are complex and often overlooked. Identifying and treating pain requires the
ability to listen to what individuals are communicating through behaviors and body language. To treat
pain for someone with dementia we must look beyond the words. This keynote offers the opportunity
to explore strategies for identifying and managing pain including the use of standardized tools for
assessment and monitoring along with the use of medications for individualizing comfort measures.
