Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test whether liraglutide, a drug approved and widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, has an effect on bone mass and bone cell function. Type 2 diabetes may cause multiple complications, and it is well known that patients with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of fractures. If Liraglutide can be demonstrated to have a positive effect on bone, this may be one among other factors to consider before the decision about specific treatment of type 2 diabetes is made for the individual patient.
This is a study aiming to investigate a possible correlation between the parameters affecting the physicians' therapeutic choice with the patients' overall adherence to osteoporosis treatment. Secondary end-points include correlation between the parameters affecting the physicians' therapeutic choice and the patients' quality of life as well as the evaluation of the whole osteoporosis treatment approach of orthopedic surgeons in Greece (diagnostic means, use of diagnostic and treatment guidelines, methodology of follow - up).
Exercise that causes a decline in serum Calcium (Ca) as a result of dermal Ca loss stimulates bone resorption via an increase in Parathyroid Hormone (PTH).
This study is designed to answer the question as to whether the sympathetic nervous system is an important determinant of bone metabolism in humans.
This study aims to determine whether vitamin D3 supplementation is any more effective in improving musculoskeletal function when combined with exercise training compared with exercise training alone.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the SpineJack® with the Kyphx Xpander® Inflatable Bone Tamp and support a non-inferiority finding for the use of SpineJack® VCF treatment system versus Balloon Kyphoplasty.
To test the efficacy of two Traditional Chinese Medicine in preventing osteoporosis in patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy.
A large-scale, community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the extent to which lifestyle was associated with osteoporosis among the Chinese population by using self-reported questionnaire methods.
Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent disease in which non-adherence is a well-recognized problem. Non-adherence may be due to patients´ lack of knowledge, understanding, and involvement. In this study the investigators aimed to determine the effect of an educational video displayed on a tablet-device. The investigators hypothesized that an educational video would increase patients´ knowledge on osteoporosis and treatment at a two week follow up.
The goal of this study is to determine whether two new, non-X-ray techniques can discriminate between high-energy fractures of normal bone (trauma) and low-energy fractures (fragility) of osteoporotic bone. The current gold-standard for assessing fracture risk areal bone mineral density (aBMD) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is not particularly effective at identifying individuals who are at risk of suffering a fracture. Yet, there is a growing population of diabetics and elderly individuals prone to fractures. In effect, the age-related and diabetes-related increase in fracture risk is independent of a person's aBMD. These findings stress the urgency in developing diagnostic tools that can improve fracture risk prediction so that patients can be treated with the appropriate anti-fracture therapies.
