Abstract
The current intervention did not change analgesic use or pain score compared with the control condition. However, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that regular pain assessment using a pain assessment tool is not clinically relevant. Furthermore, our results indicated that pain continued to be inadequately treated in nursing home residents with severe dementia. Therefore, further research on how standardised pain assessment can be used to support effective pain management in this population is needed.
