Treatment

There is no treatment for Paget's disease.

It is rarely a cause for death unless it involves major foramina that affect vital nerves. Vitamins, hormones and radiation have all been used to treat the disease, but with limited success. Anti-bone hormones like the parathormone have also been given, with mixed results.
