AbstractINFLUENCE OF AGING ON PAIN: Although pain affects a large majority of the elderly population living in the community and in institutions, our knowledge of the evolution of pain experience with age is poor. Results of clinical surveys and experimental pain studies are contradictory, showing no change, an increase, or a decrease of pain with age. Many results suggest a decrease of pain perception with age that could be explained by peripheral and central neuroanatomical aging and psychological changes of the aging patient towards pain.
