Official Title: Efficacy of Pain Treatment on Depression in Patients With Dementia. A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether pain treatment can reduce symptoms of depression in patients suffering from dementia and depression. Depression is commonly diagnosed in patients with dementia. If the investigators find a reduction in depressive symptoms when pain treatment is applied, this will support the hypothesis that undiagnosed pain may present itself as depression in patients with dementia.
