Рост продолжительности жизни населения планеты сопровождается увеличением количества пожилых пациентов, страдающих деменцией. По данным различных исследований, распространенность болевого синдрома у пожилых пациентов с деменцией составляет от 35,3% до 63,5%. В обзоре представлены данные об эпидемиологии, клинических проявлениях, методах диагностики и лечения болевого синдрома у пациентов с деменцией. Обсуждаются лекарственные и немедикаментозные методы устранения боли.

Increasing life expectancy of the world’s population is accompanied by increasing number of elderly patients with dementia. According to various studies, the prevalence of pain syndrome in elderly patients with dementia ranges from 35.3% to 63.5%. The review represents data on the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, methods of diagnosis and treatment of pain syndrome in patients with dementia. Medicinal and non-pharmacological methods of pain relief are discussed.
