“…In addition to adequate pharmacological treatment, an individualized physical exercise program may therefore be an important part in pain management. Regular physical activity has been shown to decrease the intensity of pain, improve independence in activities of daily living, decrease depressive symptoms and improve range of joint movement [39,40]. The final explanatory regression model explained 21% of the variance in the outcome which implies there are other variables not used in the present study that contribute to the experience of pain.…”

Background: Stroke is one of the most common cause of disability worldwide. Pain is common in both stroke survivors and in the general population. Consequences of post-stroke pain (PSP) include reduced quality of life and are important to consider. The aim of the current study was to explore the experience of pain 5 years after stroke, and factors associated with the experience of pain. Methods: Inclusion criteria were: First ever stroke, treated at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden, during an 18 months period in 2009-2010, aged 18 years or older. Furthermore, the participants had to respond to a set of questionnaires 5 years post-stroke. Baseline data were collected from medical records and follow-up data from the set of questionnaires. The primary outcome was based on the question Do you experience pain? Predictors and explanatory factors for experiencing more frequent pain were analysed with logistic regression. Results: A total of 281 participants were included. Almost 40% experienced pain to some degree 5 years poststroke (15% reported pain frequently), and 25% felt that their needs for pain treatment were not met. The participants experiencing more frequent pain reported poorer quality of life, self-perceived health status and recovery post-stroke. Functional dependency at discharge from hospital, experiencing depression at follow up and restricted mobility at follow up were all associated with more frequent pain. Conclusion: Pain is common 5 years post-stroke and the treatment is not perceived as optimal. The persons experiencing more frequent pain seem to rate their health and recovery worse than the persons experiencing less frequent pain. Most of the factors associated with more frequent pain were treatable and this emphasize the importance of standardised follow-up care that takes pain into consideration.

“…Most physiotherapists working in RACFs will agree that exercise for individuals living with dementia in RACFs is not prioritised and is a neglected area. Exercise has numerous physical and psychological benefits such as improved mobility, reduced pain and increased life satisfaction 24 . When promoting independence and/or reablement, exercise would naturally be an integral component of assessments and interventions.…”

“…The theory of the PAP is that play activities can improve the mood among older adults who do not have adequate cognitive resources to pursue happiness either alone or through social engagement with other residents . Exercise has been shown to reduce pain, and improve gait speed and functional mobility; therefore, 10 min of warm up exercise was carried out at the beginning of each session, followed by 20 min of play activities, which aimed to improve the psychological well‐being of participants. The last 10 min of each session was cool down exercises.…”

Aim The prevalence of chronic pain among nursing home residents with dementia is high. This present study aimed to explore the effectiveness of a play activities program among nursing home residents with dementia. Methods Each nursing home was randomly assigned to an experimental group or control group. A 1‐h play activities program was offered weekly for 8 weeks to the experimental group, whereas participants in the control group read books and magazines for 15 min weekly for the 8 weeks. Outcome measures were assessed at baseline, post‐intervention (at week 8) and 4 weeks after the intervention. Results A total of 53 nursing home residents from four nursing homes were recruited. There were significant treatment effects on pain, depression and happiness level when comparing the experimental group and control group. However, there were no treatment effects on activities of daily living, social engagement, behavioral symptoms and mobility between the two groups. Conclusion The play activities program was useful in reducing pain and improving the psychological health of nursing home residents with dementia. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 1485–1490.
