View clinical trials related to Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal.
Filter by:Postmenopausal osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and increased fracture risk. Treatment includes exercise, nutrition, supplements, and medications like bisphosphonates, denosumab, or hormone replacement therapy. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and preventing falls are also crucial. Despite effective treatments, adherence is low: 20-30% of patients don't start oral bisphosphonates, and 16-60% continue medications after one year. Exercise adherence rates are similarly low (14.3%-57.7%). This non-adherence imposes a significant clinical and economic burden. Health literacy (HL)-the ability to find, understand, and use health information-is vital for managing health but is understudied in relation to osteoporosis treatment adherence. This study aims to examine the relationship between HL, exercise habits, and medication adherence in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients. Understanding these factors can lead to effective interventions, improving patient adherence and health outcomes. The study will measure HL levels and their correlation with medication and exercise adherence, potentially informing health education programs and strategies to enhance treatment adherence. By doing so, it aims to improve health outcomes and healthcare system efficiency.
Osteoporosis weakens bones with age, increasing fracture risk. Exercise improves physical function and reduces falls, crucial for preventing osteoporotic fractures, especially with balance, resistance, and multi-component training. Agility exercise, integrating various aspects like aerobic, strength, balance, and cognitive tasks, is promising for fall prevention in older adults, though its effectiveness in osteoporosis is not extensively studied. This study compares agility and resistance exercise impacts on physical function and balance stability in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Fifty-one women (average age: 68±6.3y, BMI: 22.3±2.7 kg/m2) were divided into agility exercise (AG), resistance exercise (RG), and control groups (CG) through purposive sampling. AG and RG received added intervention training once a week for 2 hours over 12 weeks. Main outcomes included physical function and balance stability measured through various tests.
Osteoporosis is a systemic condition characterized by low bone mass and altered bone tissue microarchitecture, with the resulting greater bone fragility leading to fractures. Osteoporosis develops as a result of genetic and environmental factors, with the patient's lifestyle playing an important role. Recent years saw an emergence of reports on the significance of the intestinal microbiota in the development of osteoporosis, thus new ways of modifying the composition and activity of microbiota have been sought, and the potential role of probiotics has been considered. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms, which-when administered at appropriate doses-are beneficial to the host's health. Probiotics both modify the gut microbiota composition and directly affect the human body. Recently published clinical studies demonstrated that probiotics may facilitate osteoporosis treatment and prevention. The current randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study will assess the effect of a dietary intervention via oral supplementation of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus paracasei in a population of Polish postmenopausal women on their bone mineral density assessed via bone densitometry-derived T-scores of the lumbar segment of the spine (L1-L4). Study subjects will take the provided probiotic formulation/placebo orally once daily for 12 months.
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.
osteoporosis is a common disease that affect most of postmenopausal women. various treatment procedures are used to avoid future complain among postmenopausal population.
12-month prospective, open-label, multicenter, international, observational study evaluating sequential treatments after osteoanabolics
The primary objective of this study is to characterize safety and tolerability of romosozumab in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and a high risk of fracture in India.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial] is to investigate the effects of a 12-week time restricted eating (TRE) and exercise combined intervention, as compared to (i) TRE alone, and to (ii) Caloric Restriction (CR) plus the same exercise intervention elicited by the TRE group, on Skeletal muscle tissue (SMT) quantity, quality and function (primary outcome), Resting energy expenditure (REE) and cardiometabolic health (secondary outcomes), and miRNA biomarkers in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of eldecalcitol in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD) or mild osteoporosis through a randomized, open-label, parallel controlled trial with calcitriol as the control.
this comparative clinical study is designed to demonstrate that LY06006 and EU-Prolia have no clinically meaningful differences in clinical efficacy, pharmacodynamic (PD), safety, PK, and immunogenicity in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
