ClinConnect Summary

The AI4HOPE Dementia Pain Assessment Pilot Study 1 is a research project aimed at creating and testing a new tool to help assess pain in patients with dementia. This study focuses on finding a reliable way to understand how patients with mild to moderate dementia experience pain, ensuring that the process is not too overwhelming for them.

To participate in this trial, individuals must have mild or moderate dementia and be able to give their consent or have someone else provide consent on their behalf. Participants should also be able to share their own experiences regarding their pain. It's important to note that people with severe cognitive impairment or other serious health issues may not be eligible for this study. While this trial is not yet recruiting participants, it will provide valuable insights that could help improve pain management for those living with dementia in the future.
