This study is about making bath time less painful for older adults living in long-term care facilities. Many residents feel pain during personal care routines like dressing and undressing. This study looks at using an investigational medication to help reduce that pain.
We are looking for senior residents who:
- Have a stable Algoplus score of 2 or higher (a scale measuring pain in older adults).
- Need extra help from a psychomotor therapist (a therapist who helps with movement and coordination).
- Get consent from themselves or a trusted representative.
The study will last 1 week with daily visits during bath times. Participants will be randomly assigned to different groups based on their current pain management needs. This is to see if the investigational medication can ease pain during these routines. Residents who have previously received care from a psychomotor therapist or can wash themselves are not eligible. Remember, it's important to talk to the care team to learn more and ask any questions. 🛁
