Abstract

A method of treating bone pain caused by osteoarthritis by administering to a patient an effective amount of a composition containing a bone edema medication, such as a vasoactive medication or phosphodiesterase inhibitor, including a PDE-5 inhibitor.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of treating pain comprising administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable bone edema medication. 
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the pain is caused by joint disease. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the joint disease is osteoarthritis. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable bone edema medication is a vasoactive medication. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable bone edema medication is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the phosphodiesterase inhibitor is a subtype 5 phosphodiesterase enzyme (PDE5) selective inhibitor. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the PDE5 selective inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of avanafil, sildenafil, tadalafil, udenafil, vardenafil and zaprinast. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of administering is via an intramuscular route. 
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of administering is via an oral route. 
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of administering is via an intravenous route. 
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the patient is a human. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the patient is a non-human mammal. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the therapeutically effective amount is a dose normally administered for known uses of the bone edema medication. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein 50 mg or less of the bone edema medication is administered. 
   
   
       15 . A method of reducing intraosseous hypertension comprising administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable bone edema medication.
