Neurophysiology of Pain and Pain Modulation [PDF]
The American Journal of Medicine, 1984 An endogenous central nervous system pain-modulating network, with links in the mid brain, medulla, and spinal cord, has recently been discovered.

The treatment of pain in the elderly patient presents many challenges: their pain syndromes are often due to chronic diseases that are not curable; the metabolic and pharmacodynamic changes that accompany aging complicate the prescribing of analgesics; cognitive dysfunction confounds pain assessment; functional ability may be impaired; and psychosocial

What is the connection between pain and pain behaviour? Is it logically necessary, or is it contingent? Or is it too complex to be classified in terms of this Humean dichotomy? Surely it is too complex, for if we say the relationship is a necessary one, we should, apparently, have to deny that there could be pain without pain behaviour, or pain ...

Data indicate that half of the people over the age of 65 are not functioning at their optimal level because of interference from pain [2–4]. In 1997, a telephone survey was reported as indicating that >50% of older adults had taken prescriptions ...

The principles of pain management1 are similar for young and old patients (Table 45.1). However, the geriatric population is more likely to experience a number of specific pain problems. Treatment also must be tailored to the elderly patient due to differences in sensitivities to many analgesic agents.
