“…In practical terms, with the Abbey and PACSLAC scales that have been validated in this region, the nurse can perform a multidimensional assessment of pain in an average of 15 min, and training in the use of these scales requires only a few hours, and it has been suggested that family caregivers may also apply these scales to their relatives with dementia (Franco and De Lucas, 2001; Herr et al, 2006; McAuliffe et al, 2009; Chamorro and Puche, 2013; Montoro-Lorite and Canalias-Reverter, 2015; Papiol Espinosa and Abades Porcel, 2015; Bezerra Thé et al, 2016; Tsai et al, 2018).…”

“…In this regard, some authors (De Souza Rolim et al, 2014a) report that the inability of persons with advanced dementia to communicate and express themselves makes it difficult to correctly assess pain. Consequently, if there is no adequate treatment of pain, suffering that can be avoided for elderly people with dementia is generated (De Souza Rolim et al, 2014b; Papiol Espinosa and Abades Porcel, 2015).…”

Objective Pain treatment is an essential component of care for elderly patients with advanced dementia. The objective of this study was to identify and analyze the different scales used for pain assessment in elderly persons diagnosed with dementia, in the literature available at the Latin American level. Method A systematic review was performed on the existing scales for pain assessment in elderly people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies. Results 226 articles were retrieved from the PUBMED, BIREME, and Scielo databases, of which a total of 10 articles entered the systematic review. The instruments identified in these publications were PAINAD, Abbey, McGill, and PACSLAC, while the Colored Pain Scale, Faces Pain Scale, and VAS scales were used as the silver standard. In Spanish, the Abbey scale, and in Portuguese, the PACSLAC scale showed the best reliability and validity coefficients. Significance of results It is concluded that there are only two appropriate scales for the assessment of pain in people with dementia in the region of interest of this study. It is recommended to generate more evidence for a more accurate assessment of pain in people with dementia.
