Telephone ‐based management of chronic pain in older adults in an integrated care program
ConclusionsOlder adults treated with psychotropic medications often also experience chronic pain that interferes with daily activities. A telephone‐based care management intervention is acceptable and feasible with an older community‐based population and can lead to improvements in anxiety symptoms and interference from chronic pain. Further research will help to refine interventions that may help improve symptoms and increase functioning with this population.
