“…A study conducted in the United Kingdom evaluated 502 participants with mean age of 65.2 years and compared the subjects according to the intensity of the pain (above or below the median), noting that the group with the highest level of pain had higher rates of depression, anxiety and worse overall health when compared to the group with low pain intensity (29) . Another fact that corroborates the literature is the higher number of continuous use medications in the group with chronic pain when compared to the group without chronic pain, with statistically significant results (30) . Some limitations may be found in this study, one of which being the lack of more accurate assessment tools and methods to assess cognition such as neuroimaging or specific tests for memory, attention and concentration.…”

Objective: Understanding and characterizing chronic pain in elderly caregivers, verifying the cognitive performance of the elderly of the sample and verifying whether there is difference in the cognitive performance of elderly caregivers with and without chronic pain. Method: Participants were people aged 60 years or older who lived with another elderly person in the same household and who were registered in Family Health Units. Data collection took place at participants' homes. Pain was assessed by the EMADOR and cognition was assessed by ACE-R. Statistical analyzes were performed using Shapiro-Wilk's and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: The study included 187 elderly caregivers with chronic pain and 133 without chronic pain, with a higher frequency of women. Chronic pain was present in 58.4% of the participants. Regarding the sociodemographic variables, there was no difference between the groups except for the gender variable (p=0.025). No difference was found in cognitive performance among the elderly with chronic pain and those without chronic pain for any domain of the ACE-R instrument. Conclusion: The results contradicted the initial hypothesis that there would be a difference between the groups; however, there is a gap in the scientific knowledge on chronic pain and cognition, especially in elderly caregivers, opening perspectives for future investigations.

“…The prescribing of analgesics, as it occurs where conditions and quality of life are significantly affected, may lead the elderly to acquire such drugs themselves. The occurrence of pain and the use of analgesics has increased in recent decades due to the prolonged life of individuals and the reduced tolerance to pain and suffering that is often observed 33 .…”

Objective: To describe the prescribing, dispensing, use, adhesion, and storage of medicines to and by the elderly. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed in Estratégia Saúde da Família (Family Health Strategy) health centers (ESF), in Marília in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, based on the records of and interviews with 114 individuals seven to ten days after a medical consultation. A descriptive analysis was carried out. Results: The mean number of prescribed drugs was 4.98 per elderly patient. Of the total number of prescribed drugs, 81.5% were supplied by public services, with the nutrient (50%); antilipemic (62.1%); analgesic (30.7%); dermo-protector (66.6%); herbal (40%) and parasite and antifungal (37.5%) classes dispensed the least. A total of 83.8% of the prescribed drugs were used, while the drugs dispensed at the lowest rates were not used by the elderly, except for analgesics. A total of 40.3% of the respondents exhibited low adherence. Most stored their medicines in a suitable place. Conclusion: The prescribing, dispensing, use and storage of medications to and by the elderly can be considered effective, but adherence remains low, requiring new strategies and interventions.
