NCT ID: NCT06359353 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

Effect of Pitavastatin on Bone

Start date: April 8, 2019
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial investigates the effects of pitavastatin on bone health in postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis and hypercholesterolemia. Given the high prevalence of osteoporosis in aging populations and the associated risks, even with existing treatments, this study addresses a critical gap in medical research. Statins, specifically HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are suggested to benefit bone metabolism by promoting bone formation and reducing resorption. However, the specific impact of pitavastatin on bone metabolism lacks clinical evidence. The study's primary goal is to determine the effects of a 12-month pitavastatin regimen on bone metabolism markers in this population. This research could significantly contribute to developing more effective osteoporosis treatments for postmenopausal women, combining bone health and cholesterol management strategies.

NCT ID: NCT06305156 Recruiting - Bone Loss Clinical Trials

Protocol Optimization in CT for the Quantification of BMD

Start date: March 13, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Bone mineral density is an important measurement to detect osteoporosis. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare bone mineral density measurements in CT examinations and DXA scans. The main question it aims to answer is: - How good is the measurement of bone mineral density in the new photon-counting CT in comparison to DXA - How can we optimize the CT scan for bone mineral density Participants will undergo: - Clinically indicated CT scan on day of inclusion - Study related DXA scan on a separate appointment

NCT ID: NCT06279078 Recruiting - Asthma Clinical Trials

Long-term Effect of Steroid on Metabolic Diseases in Asthmatics

Start date: December 30, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this retrospective/observational study is to compare the clinical outcomes between the high-cumulative-dose group and the low- cumulative-dose group of oral/inhaled corticosteroid in the long-term management of asthma patients. The main hypothesis are: i. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid is related to the prevalence of osteoporosis/osteoporosis in the long-term management of adult asthma. ii. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid can affect populations that have a high-risk of osteoporosis (females over 50 years of age). iii. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid is related to the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in the long-term management of adult asthma. iv. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid affects bone metabolism-related diagnostic tests and laboratory values and the prescription rate of bone metabolism-related medications.

NCT ID: NCT05712252 Recruiting - Frailty Clinical Trials

Risk Factors for Fall and Fracture

Start date: February 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This project aims to improve the global outcome for an aging individual after a traumatic fall, through identifying conditions contributing to a fall and promoting recovery and rehabilitation. Through better understanding 'falling phenotype', the ultimate aim is to prevent future complications, as well as new falls and fractures in the growing older population.

NCT ID: NCT04748250 Completed - Clinical trials for Osteoporosis, Osteopenia

Effect of Soy Phytoestrogens and Acupuncture on Bone Mineral Density in Female Athlete Triad at Adolescence Age

Start date: July 20, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study to determine the effect of soy phytoestrogens and acupuncture on osteoporosis in female athlete triad at adolescence age. It is hypothesized that: - There will be no statistical significant difference between the effects of soy phytoestrogens and acupuncture on osteoporosis in female athlete triad at adolescence age. RESEARCH QUESTION: Do soy phytoestrogens and acupuncture have an effect on bone mineral density in female athlete triad at adolescence age?

NCT ID: NCT04535180 Completed - Sarcopenia Clinical Trials

Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis in the Patients With Hemophilia

Start date: January 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder and repeated joint bleeding leads to hemophilic arthropathy. Among patients with hemophilia, vitamin D deficiency and hemophilic arthropathy have been associated with osteoporosis in several clinical studies.There is no data on the prevalence of osteoporosis in hemophilia patients in Taiwan or Asia. To the best of our knowledge, no previous studies have reported the prevalence of sarcopenia and correlation with osteoporosis in hemophilia adult patients. This study will investigate the prevalence and corelation of sarcopenia and low BMD in patients with hemophilia. patients in Taiwan. The study will estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia and body composition in the hemophilia population and compared baseline demographic and clinical characteristics between the non-sarcopenia and sarcopenia individuals, with particular emphasis on the overlap with osteoporosis and hemophilic arthropathy.

NCT ID: NCT04526327 Completed - Sarcopenia Clinical Trials

Osteosarcopenia and Exercise

Start date: December 3, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of combination of aerobic and resistive exercise on activities of daily living and risk of fall in osteosarcopenic patients

NCT ID: NCT04169698 Completed - Clinical trials for Osteoporosis, Osteopenia

Alendronate Versus Denosumab in Kidney Transplant Patients

Start date: October 17, 2019
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The management of bone disease has often been neglected post-transplantation, when the clinical focus is on allograft function and immunological sequelae. However, most renal transplant recipients (RTRs) have pre-existing CKD-MBD, which results in changes to mineral metabolism and reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and quality, which are linked to an increased incidence of fractures and cardiovascular disease. Bone loss is greatest in the first 6-12 months post-transplantation, during which period any intervention is likely to be of greatest benefit. Anti-resorptive agents all inhibit bone resorption. Since bisphosphonates and densoumab are the most widely used anti-resorptive agents for osteoporosis, we conduct this prospective interventional comparative study to compare the efficacy and tolerability of alendronate versus denosumab in de novo kidney transplant recipients with reduced bone mineral density, in the first 12 months treatment after kidney transplantation.

NCT ID: NCT04037436 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Functional Exercise and Nutrition Education Program for Older Adults

MoveStrong
Start date: September 24, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There is strong evidence that specific types of exercise can improve health and physical function in older adults. While community exercise classes exist, many older adults with chronic conditions may need guidance from credentialed exercise professionals to ensure sufficient dose and progression and to address fears or low exercise self-efficacy. Furthermore, low protein intake among older adults is common and initiating exercise when nutrition is inadequate may cause weight loss and limit gains in muscle strength. The primary goal is to determine the feasibility of implementing the MoveSTroNg program under real-world conditions, measured through referral and recruitment to the program and study retention and adherence rates.

NCT ID: NCT04034199 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Treating Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies Related Reduced Bone Mineral Density With Denosumab or Zoledronic Acid

Start date: August 15, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) patients are at high risk of development of reduced bone mineral density due to impairment of functional status due to the disease and a relatively high dose of glucocorticoid use for the treatment. Reduced bone mineral density is prevalent in local IIMs patients. Denosumab and zoledronic acid are established treatments for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. However, the role of these treatments in reduced bone mineral density including osteoporosis and osteopenia related to IIMs are lacking. There is also no evidence on comparing the efficacy of the two agents. Therefore, the investigators conducted this prospective randomized controlled study to compare the efficacies of denosumab and zoledronic acid in treating reduced bone mineral density in IIMs patients. The hypothesis in this study is that treatment by denosumab or zoledronic acid would improve bone mineral density in IIMs patients with reduced bone mineral density.
