Treating
Paget's Disease

The outlook for patients with Paget's disease is generally good, particularly if Paget's disease treatment is given before major complications have occurred. The goal of Paget's disease treatment is to relieve bone pain and prevent the progression of the disease.

Four main methods of Paget's disease treatment exist for a patient with Paget's disease:

	Non-pharmacological therapy (focusing mainly on physical therapy as a means of improving muscle strength to help control some types of bone pain)
	Pharmacological therapy using either bisphosphonates or calcitonin
	Bone pain management using analgesics
	Surgery
