Pain management in older adults with chronic wounds

Original language description

Older people often suffer from different types of ulcers, with the most prevalent being chronic leg ulcers (CLUs) and diabetic foot ulcers. There are major issues in the current medical approach because these ulcers are hard to heal, and, in the case of CLUs, very painful and with a high frequency of relapse. Older people complain of pain more frequently than young people, frequently due to a combination of painful chronic wounds with other comorbidities (e.g. arthritis, peripheral arterial disease, vertebrogenic pain syndrome). However, chronic pain appears to be managed better by older people because the pain sensitivity is downregulated and the pain threshold is higher in older people. Pain management of chronic wounds is often insufficient, especially in older individuals. It is highly important to use non-traumatic wound dressings and pay attention to patients&apos; feelings and fears because pain in chronic ulcers can impair wound healing. Key factors include good preparation for dressing change and adequate analgesia, ideally a combination of topical and oral agents.
