Abstract
This review synthesizes current knowledge on pain in older adults, exploring age-related changes, common pain types like neuropathic and musculoskeletal pain, and their impact on mental health and fall risk. It addresses challenges in assessment, particularly with cognitive impairment, and discusses the complexities of polypharmacy and cancer pain in geriatrics. Emerging roles of inflammation and the importance of interprofessional collaboration are also highlighted, advocating for comprehensive, individualized, and patient-centered care strategies.
