alendronate and Otosclerosis

alendronate has been researched along with Otosclerosis in 3 studies

alendronic acid : A 1,1-bis(phosphonic acid) that is methanebis(phosphonic acid) in which the two methylene hydrogens are replaced by hydroxy and 3-aminopropyl groups.

Otosclerosis: Formation of spongy bone in the labyrinth capsule which can progress toward the STAPES (stapedial fixation) or anteriorly toward the COCHLEA leading to conductive, sensorineural, or mixed HEARING LOSS. Several genes are associated with familial otosclerosis with varied clinical signs.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Identify and compare phenotypic properties of osteoblasts from patients with otosclerosis (OSO), normal bones (HOB), and normal stapes (NSO) to determine a possible cause for OSO hypermineralization and assess any effects of the bisphosphonate, alendronate."3.80Differences in otosclerotic and normal human stapedial osteoblast properties are normalized by alendronate in vitro. ( Aronow, M; Eisen, M; Flynn, J; Gronowicz, G; Kveton, J; Leonard, G; Parham, K; Richardson, YL; Rodner, C, 2014)
"Otospongiosis is a primary osteodystrophy of the otic capsule that affects genetically predisposed individuals and leads to a progressive hearing loss."2.77The effectiveness of audiometric evaluation in drug treatment for otospongiosis. ( Cruz, OL; Penido, Nde O; Suzuki, FB; Vicente, Ade O; Yamashita, HK, 2012)
"Otosclerosis is a bony dyscrasia characterized by histopathological findings of osteoclast production."1.35Medical treatment of otosclerosis: rationale for use of bisphosphonates. ( Brookler, K, 2008)
