Research

Condition research

Research is now underway on a number of key factors involved in Paget's disease. These include:

  • its cause
  • how the disease affects quality of life
  • improved treatment (including several new bisphosphonates and a nasal spray form of calcitonin)
  • the study of bony tissues (the basic structure, breakdown, and formation)
  • a way to measure bone turnover
  • how to halt or slow down the disease process
