The prevalence of chronic pain ranges from 40% to 80% in long-term care facilities (LTCF), with the highest proportion being found among older adults and residents with dementia.

A solution to this problem would be to provide effective and innovative interdisciplinary continuing education to health care providers (HCPs).
