NDIS Practice alert on pain management

Pain is more common in people with disability than the general population but is often not recognised. Untreated pain can negatively impact physical and mental health, and cause behavioural changes.

Our updated Practice Alert: Pain Management explains the types and causes of pain, the consequences of untreated pain, who is at risk and how to identify, manage and prevent pain in NDIS participants.

Practice Alerts are short, evidence-based summaries outlining best-practice support of NDIS participants most at risk of preventable harm and death, and are available on the NDIS Commission website: https://lnkd.in/eTYRr_GN
