EHealth-Integrated Psychosocial and Physical Interventions for Chronic Pain in Older Adults: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) is highly present among older adults, affecting their physical, psychological, and social functioning. A biopsychosocial multimodal approach to CNCP management is currently extensively suggested by international clinical practice guidelines. Recently, the growing development and application of eHealth within pain management has yielded encouraging results in terms of effectiveness and feasibility; however, its use among the older population remains underexamined.

Objective

The overall aim of this scoping review was to systematically map existing literature about eHealth multimodal interventions (including both physical and psychosocial components) targeting older adults with CNCP.

Methods

This review adhered to the JBI methodol
