This product is part of the GeriaFlix series at the University of Iowa. GeriaFlix are multidisciplinary presentations on topics in clinical geriatrics. Presented in a streaming digital video format with synchronized slides, each presentation lasts approximately 1 hour. In this presentation, Dr. Schilling will discuss the clinical presentation of neuropathic pain and the identification of clinical conditions that are commonly associated with it. She will describe pharmacologic interventions as well as nonpharmacologic interventions that may be used in conjunction with medical therapy for management of neuropathic pain. In addition, Dr. Schilling will present the adverse effects that may arise with the use of pharmacologic agents for neuropathic pain management in frail elders.

Educational objectives: 
This product is part of a series of digitized lectures devoted to topics in clinical geriatrics designed to teach important principles in the management of older persons. By using this lecture series, learners will be able to improve their overall knowledge about managing common geriatric syndromes; understand the unique health care needs of older patients, differences in the management of common clinical conditions, and how physiologic changes associated with aging impact management; develop a working knowledge of important legal and ethical issues associated with end-of-life care; and understand and apply principles of the multi-disciplinary geriatric assessment.

The learning objectives of this particular digitized presentation are:
  1. Recognize the clinical presentation of neuropathic pain and identify clinical conditions that are commonly associated with neuropathic pain.
  2. Describe the nonpharmacologic interventions that may be used in conjunction with medical therapy for neuropathic pain management.
  3. Describe the pharmacologic interventions that have evidence to support their use for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
  4. Understand the risks/adverse effects that may arise with the use of pharmacologic agents for neuropathic pain management in frail elders
