Abstract
Book Review
Highlights
The book has three introductory chapters on older adult demographics and pain, aging and pain, and pharmacological changes in elders
The preface notes how it can be difficult to balance pain relief with side effects and advocates “considering the patient as a whole”. This means considering treating the pain and the harms that can come from analgesic side effects, polypharmacy and drug interactions
The editors remain true to the preface in considering the effects of the analgesics and their side effects but this information is not organized in any consistent fashion throughout the book
Summary
The book has three introductory chapters on older adult demographics and pain, aging and pain, and pharmacological changes in elders. The preface notes that this is not a typical book on pain management and states that it will consider “treatment that may be conventional, and that which may appear more contentious”. Each chapter has something for those interested in novel therapies for chronic pain.
