Description of the project:

This Action brought together leading researchers from a wide range of scientific disciplines with the major aim to develop of a comprehensive and internationally agreed-on assessment toolkit for older adults targeting the various subtypes of dementia and various aspects of pain, including pain diagnostics, cognitive examination and guidelines for proper assessment. The collaboration will have as an end product a clinical bedside tool for pain assessment in patients with dementia and cognitive impairments (PAIC). The PAIC tool is aimed to be adapted and validated for use across Europe in order to facilitate common research and to be used in clinical/health care settings.
