Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density, the mean percent change in total hip BMD in subjects receiving denosumab is not less than that observed in subjects receiving alendronate sodium by more than a pre-specified non-inferiority margin.
The aim of this trial is to investigate whether the Menostar patch is as safe and effective in the prevention of bone loss in postmenopausal women as raloxifen, a drug already registered for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
Decreased bone strength is a serious medical problem present in many women with Anorexia Nervosa, or disordered eating. Women with weaker bones are more likely to suffer broken bones than women with normal bone strength. We are investigating whether a hormone that is naturally produced by the human body, called growth hormone, can help strengthen the bones of women with this type of disordered eating.
Consumption of soy-based foods is associated with a number of health benefits, including lower risk of cardiovascular disease, breast and prostate cancer, attenuated menopausal symptoms and prevention of bone loss with age. In order to investigate the effect of isoflavone on bone mineral density (BMD) and in Taiwan women with postmenopausal osteopenia, a Taiwan Isoflavone Multicentric Enrollment Study (TIMS) is designed.
Estrogen is a hormone that helps prevent calcium loss and bone breakdown. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease. Insufficient amounts of estrogen may lead to bone loss and possibly osteoporosis. Isoflavones are natural compounds found in soy plants that may help provide protection against bone loss. This study will evaluate the effect of soy isoflavones on calcium absorption and bone loss in post menopausal women.
The goals of the trial are: - To determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in subgroups of COPD patients. - To look for risk factors of osteoporosis in COPD patients. - To create sub-groups for prospective research concerning the effects of bisphosphonates on osteoporosis variables in COPD patients.
To evaluate the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention (reminder and educational material) in improving the evaluation of osteoporosis follow-up care of post-menopausal women with wrist fractures by their primary care physicians. The intervention is directed at improving the gap in continuity of care between emergency/fracture clinics and family physicians, and reducing knowledge gaps.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of standard medical therapy alone to kyphoplasty using the KyphX system for the treatment of acute vertebral body compression fractures.
This study is evaluating the use of the drug alendronate in preventing or reversing bone loss in children and adolescents receiving steroid medications.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of combining exercise training (i.e. weight lifting and walking) and dietary supplementation with a soy-based nutritional supplement for increasing bone mineral density. We hypothesize that the exercise training and soy-based supplement will be additive for increasing bone mineral density.
