I Walk the Line: The Fine Balance of Geriatric Pain Management

Pain management in the elderly can be quite complex, balancing the risks associated with cognitive deficits, functional capacity, disability, and organ dysfunction against therapeutic agents. The most common method of pain control in this population is pharmacotherapy. This patient population, however, is subject to the complex interactions and risks associated with polypharmacy. Recent advancements in interventional approaches have allowed them to be increasingly recognized as an important part of multimodal pain management. This session will explore unique and emerging interventional strategies for some of the most common pain complaints in the elderly.
