Treating pain in such patients poses challenges, because memory loss, language and speech deficits, and altered levels of consciousness may impair patient ability to communicate meaningful discomfort.1 Patients with cognitive deficits are less likely to ask for and to receive analgesia, and they may be predisposed to exacerbations of mental and behavioral aberrance given standard analgesic regimens.1–5 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/11 UR - neurology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159831790 ER -
