Case studies in osteoporosis management and prevention.
Although the goals of therapy in osteoporosis rely on tests to measure response to Pharmacologic therapy, the subsequent patient interview seems to yield the best results in evaluating the patient's response to treatment. Patients who are at fracture risk or who have significant disease present with uncertainty about their future quality of life. The health care provider can allay their fears and offer the best regimen to improve their condition.
