In the United States, the number of people aged 65 and older is projected to grow to almost 80 million by 2040. Chronic pain is a growing problem in this increasingly aging population, as the incidence and prevalence of pain increase with age. It is estimated that up to 50% of older adults living in the community and 80% of elderly living in long-term care facilities experience chronic pain.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - neurology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1182779710 ER -
