Pharmacological Management of Persistent Pain in Older Persons
Abstract
Pain is a complex phenomenon caused by noxious sensory stimuli or neuropathological mechanisms. An individual's memories, expectations, and emotions modify the experience of pain [1]. Persistent pain, by definition, continues for a prolonged period of time and may or may not be associated with a well-defined disease process. In the medical literature, the terms “persistent pain” and “chronic pain” are often used interchangeably, but the newer term, “persistent pain,” is preferred, because it is not associated with the negative attitudes and stereotypes that clinicians and patients often associate with the “chronic pain” label [2]. In the definition of persistent pain, authors have used various durations of painful sensation, including pain longer than 3 months, 6 months, or more. Some reports make the assumption that patients with certain diagnoses, such as postherpetic neuralgia, low back pain, or cancer-related pain, must also experience persistent pain. In the final analysis, readers must evaluate new additions to the medical literature carefully and consider how these sometimes arbitrary definitions apply to each clinical situation and individual patient.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
