Article Synopsis
- Two-thirds of patients with Paget's disease experience pain, prompting a study on pain patterns related to physical activity and the impact of osteoarthritis coexisting with Paget's disease.
- Patients were divided into two groups—those without arthritis (P group) and those with arthritis (POA group)—and treated with pamidronate, showing significant improvement in pain levels for the P group by the six-month mark.
- Both groups saw a reduction in alkaline phosphatase levels, but the P group had better pain relief compared to the POA group, suggesting that evaluating for joint disease before treatment may enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction.
