This is the first case report where two patients were under uniform denosumab administration protocol in diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (DSO) treatment and were closely monitored for 18 months. Objectives: This study aimed to describe the beneficial effects of denosumab in DSO treatment as well as pain relief and the significant lack of long-term use due to poorer outcomes after repeated use. DSO of the jaw is a poorly understood rare chronic disease the treatment of which is still very challenging despite a rapid development of medicine. Different medical treatments have been proposed without any significant long-lasting success. Bisphosphonates have offered substantial clinical benefit in DSO therapy, but due to harmful pharmacodynamic properties, denosumab therapy has been used to replace bisphosphonate therapy. Patients had a reduction in pain intensity with each subsequent application of denosumab but with less success than the first administration of denosumab. This case report has shown that denosumab could be a promising conservative treatment option for pain treatment in patients suffering from DSO.
这是首例关于两名患者在弥漫性硬化性骨髓炎(DSO)治疗中接受统一地诺单抗给药方案并进行了18个月密切监测的病例报告。目的:本研究旨在描述地诺单抗在DSO治疗中的有益效果以及疼痛缓解情况,以及由于重复使用后效果较差导致长期使用严重不足的情况。颌骨DSO是一种了解甚少的罕见慢性疾病,尽管医学发展迅速,但其治疗仍然极具挑战性。已提出了不同的医学治疗方法,但均未取得任何显著的长期成功。双膦酸盐在DSO治疗中提供了实质性的临床益处,但由于有害的药效学特性,地诺单抗疗法已被用于替代双膦酸盐疗法。每次后续应用地诺单抗时,患者的疼痛强度都会降低,但效果不如首次使用地诺单抗。本病例报告表明,地诺单抗可能是DSO患者疼痛治疗的一种有前景的保守治疗选择。
