🧠 Parkinson's Study with Zoledronic Acid 💊

This study tests if a medicine called Zoledronic Acid (ZA) can help prevent bone breaks in people 60+ with Parkinson's disease at home. Zoledronic Acid is a medicine given in a single infusion (one-time treatment through a vein) that helps strengthen bones. The study will last at least 2 years and involves 3,500 participants across the United States. Everyone in the study will either get the ZA treatment or a placebo (a fake treatment that looks like the real one). The study is funded by the National Institute of Aging.

  • 📆 Study Length: At least 2 years with follow-ups every 4 months.
  • 🏠 Home-based: No extra hospital visits needed; everything can be done at home.
  • đź’µ Compensation: Check study website for details.

If you have Parkinson's, are 60 or older, and don't have conditions like hip fractures or certain dental issues, you might qualify. You can sign up online, and if eligible, a nurse will visit you at home for final checks. For more info, visit the study website or contact the Parkinson's Foundation Helpline.
