NCT ID NCT07103876
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 37 times
Summary
This study looks at whether removing the parathyroid gland can improve physical function and mobility in adults aged 60 and older with primary hyperparathyroidism. Researchers will track changes in walking, strength, and daily activity before and after surgery, and analyze blood samples for clues. The goal is to gather evidence that could guide future treatments and potentially expand the use of this surgery for older patients.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
parathyroidectomy (surgical removal of the parathyroid gland)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that parathyroid surgery improves mobility and quality of life in older adults, potentially expanding who might benefit from the procedure.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. It is also small (80 people) and early-stage, so results may not apply to everyone.
