MOBID 2 observation instrument. The assessment of inferred pain intensity is observed based on patient's pain behaviors during standardized, guided movements of different body parts (Part 1). In addition, MOBID-2 includes an observation of pain behavior related to internal organs, head and skin registered on pain drawings and monitored over time (Part 2). MOBID-2 has shown to be reliable, valid and time-effective to assess pain in patients with severe dementia. The investigators will use MOBID-2 for assessment of pain in all the patients with dementia. Scoring range is 0-10, the higher the sco

Sponsor's own description

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the pain-relieving effect of a well-characterized non-pharmacological treatment program, music-based caregiving (MBC), to patients in nursing homes with dementia and pain. Patients with dementia disease will be recruited from nursing homes in Trondheim and Oslo, and each ward at the nursing homes will be cluster randomized into intervention - or control wards. Then the health care personnel in the intervention wards will receive education in MBC and perform the intervention during eight weeks. The hypothesis is that this non-pharmacological intervention will reduce pain intensity and improve general activity, as well as reduce other symptoms in nursing home patients with dementia and pain compared to baseline.
