Overview

Scoping review highlights varied multidimensional pain measures in older adults, indicating gaps in validation.

Key Points

  • No strong evidence supports a single recommended measure for assessing pain in older adults, emphasizing the need for diverse tools.
  • Thirty-two articles reviewed identified pain intensity, interference, and affect/mood as the key dimensions assessed across studies.
  • Assessment methods primarily included psychometric testing for internal consistency and test-retest reliability, with validity emphasized.
  • The findings underscore the necessity for ongoing development and validation of multidimensional pain assessment tools for older adults.
