Population and sample: Made up of 207 older adults and the sample made up of 136 older adults who meet the selection criteria. Results: It was found that, of the general characteristics, the majority of patients are between 60 and 65 years old (31.2%), are women (60.9%), have a higher level of education (63.8%) and do not work (55.8% ). Regarding comorbidities, 39.9% do not have diseases, followed by 26.1% with other conditions and 19.6% with hypertension.

The intensity of pain before treatment is more frequent severe pain with 53.6%, while the intensity of pain after treatment is more frequent mild pain with 87.0%, meanwhile, significant differences (p<0.001) were found between the pain intensity before and after treatment.
