      Identifying and responding to pain

      Many people living with dementia will experience some form of pain. Understanding this pain can help you respond with the right care.

      Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that may or may not also include physical tissue damage. Most importantly, pain can be a major factor contributing to changes in behaviour for someone living with dementia. This is often because the person may struggle to express their discomfort or needs clearly.
