- Abstract
Patients suffering from pain caused by osteoporotic fracture most want pain reduction and the ability to live independently. Age, co-morbidity and co-medication are individual factors which can interfere with drug therapy. Relevant factors for planning and applying drug therapy for pain reduction are identified by literature review in correlation with clinical experience. Pitfalls are numerous and complex. Drug therapy has to be performed and monitored carefully. Strategies for risk reduction are outlined and clarified by examples. Good and safe pain reduction in elderly patients suffering from osteoporotic fractures usually depends on a transdisciplinary regimen.
