title: [Pain Management in the Multimorbid Patient].
abstract: No treatment without risks. This is particularly true in the pharmacologic pain management of multimorbid patients. This article is meant to address some of the most relevant clinical questions, such as the use of opioids in the cognitively impaired patient or the well-known interactions between NSAID and aspirin. The advantages and disadvantages of the most frequently prescribed analgesics are highlighted. Furthermore, the most useful interventional techniques in the multimorbid patient are discussed.
