The difference is that decreasing brain function and abilities can make it difficult for them to clearly let family caregivers and other individuals who care for them know what\u2019s going on. Today, we\u2019re going to discuss pain in advanced dementia and offer some tips on how to recognize and address it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Dementia Itself Doesn\u2019t Cause Pain<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The changes that occur in the brain due to dementia don\u2019t cause physical pain. However, the way the brain is affected as dementia advances does increase the risk of other things that could result in pain. For example, if the part of the brain that\u2019s partially responsible for balance and coordination is affected, there\u2019s a greater risk of falling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seniors can face a variety of challenges as they age, many of which can be mitigated with the help of professional in-home caregivers who provide high-quality <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">homecare services<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trust Assisting Hands\u00ae Dana Point to help your elderly loved one age in place safely and comfortably.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pain Can Be Misinterpreted as Behavioral Issues<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of an inability to clearly verbalize pain, an older adult with advanced dementia may act out. This acting out is sometimes misinterpreted as behavioral problems, which are also common with some forms of advanced dementia, such as Alzheimer\u2019s disease. What you can do is look for nonverbal signs suggesting your loved one is experiencing pain, including:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grimacing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uncharacteristic behaviors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moaning and other unnatural vocal tones<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gestures that indicate distress<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Chronic Conditions May Not Be Sufficiently Managed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Around 80 percent of older adults have at least one chronic condition, according to the National Council on Aging (NCOA). Even so, chronic pain may not be properly treated or managed in seniors with advanced dementia because they\u2019re unable to communicate what they\u2019re experiencing. Possible solutions include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Specialized examinations \u2013 Some therapists and doctors are trained to look for nonverbal signs of pain in those with dementia by using gentle touching and similar techniques<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Observations of painful movements \u2013 While providing care, look for things such as guarding one part of the body and pain triggered by certain movements, such as getting up from a chair<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Abbey Pain Scale \u2013 A family caregiver is asked to rate the severity of facial expressions, behavioral changes, and physical signs of discomfort to develop an indication of the level of pain being experienced<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A compassionate home caregiver can be a wonderful source of support for a senior living with dementia. One of the most challenging tasks of helping an elderly relative age in place safely and comfortably is researching agencies that provide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/97\/california\/danapoint\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">home care. Dana Point<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> families can turn to Assisting Hands Home Care for reliable, high-quality in-home care for aging adults. We offer 24-hour care for seniors who require extensive assistance, and we also offer respite care for family caregivers who need a break from their caregiving duties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Non-Drug Therapies Are Often Recommended for Pain Management<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another challenge with pain in advanced dementia is determining how to treat it. Medication can be risky because drugs used for chronic pain may interact with medication being taken to address dementia-related issues, which is why there&#8217;s a tendency to recommend non-drug therapies instead. Options include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Massage therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gentle exercise and stretching<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hot\/cold applications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Personalized physical therapy programs<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thorough examinations on a regular basis are equally important. This is especially true for seniors with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, that can present other health risks, such as problems with circulation. Regular exams and diagnostic testing can also help with the detection of untreated injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pain in Advanced Dementia Sometimes Results from Lifestyle Habits<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some pain experienced by those with advanced dementia is related to lifestyle habits. For instance, discomfort may be related to sitting in the same position for too long, a lack of physical activity, or poor posture. These are things that can usually be corrected with appropriate care adjustments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even when families have the best intentions, caring for a senior loved one with dementia can be challenging. Fortunately, Assisting Hands\u00ae Dana Point is here to help.
