Some dementia patients can self-report pain although the reports are not valid in severe dementia. Observational scales have been developed for pain assessment in these patients. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors with Limited Ability to Communicate-II (PACSLAC-II). ⋯ PACSLAC-II Persian version is a valid and reliable scale for pain assessment in older adults with dementia.
