Interested in
participating in an Idiopathic
Osteoporosis in Premenopausal Women
Research Study?
Idiopathic Osteoporosis in Premenopausal
Women Research Study is sponsored by the
National Institutes of Health, Institute
of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin
Diseases (NIAMS).
The goal of this study is to define the
causes of osteoporosis in premenopausal
women. Women to be enrolled in the study
will undergo an extensive evaluation for
known causes of osteoporosis and only
those in whom no underlying cause can be
found will be eligible to participate.
Enrolled women will have bone imaging
studies, blood tests and collect morning
urine for two menstrual cycles. A sample
of bone will be sent for in-depth
studies of bone quality. NIAMS is
looking for women with the diagnosis of
osteoporosis and women over the age of
18 who are experiencing non-traumatic
fractures. A stipend is being provided
and assistance with travel is available
if necessary.
The two study sites are Creighton
University's Osteoporosis Research
Center in Omaha, NE and Columbia
University Medical Center in New York
City, New York. The contact for the
Omaha, NE site is Jeanette LeMaster at
either 402-280-4839 or jml@creighton.edu.
The contact for the New York City, NY
site is Halley Eisenberg at either
212-305-7225 or
