Could a smoking cessation drug help Parkinson's patients stop falling?

NCT ID NCT06679374

Summary

This study is testing whether a medication called varenicline, taken for one year, can help reduce the risk of falls and improve the ability to walk while doing another task (like talking) in people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild memory problems. About 102 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the real medication or a placebo pill. The main goal is to see if the drug helps people walk more safely and fall less over the course of a year.
