Abstract
This review presents evidence of the undertreatment of pain for people with cognitive impairment and explores reasons for this, emphasizing inadequate detection due to lack of suitable pain assessment protocols. Implications for practice and suggestions for further research are made. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Keywords
