Pain is common among older people. However, it remains underrecognised and under-treated. A comprehensive assessment of pain involves identifying its cause, establishing its severity, determining its impact on the person experiencing it and reviewing the person's response to treatment. Addressing their pain requires a different approach compared to a younger person because there is usually concomitant frailty, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, sensory deficits and cognitive impairment. This review will summarise a comprehensive approach to pain management in the older person.
