Abstract
Pain is a universal part of being human, and yet, there is ample evidence that many people from all backgrounds, stages of life, and levels of health care experience receive less than optimal treatment of their pain. This article reviews the pharmacotherapy of pain in older adults, with a focus on salicylates, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and opioids.
