Bone density test Clinical trials

Below are current clinical trials.

2 studies in Bone density test
(open studies only).

Beta-Blockers and Bone Health

Rochester, Minn.

The proposed study will directly examine whether bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microstructure are better preserved among HF patients on chronic β-blockers and account for the reports of decreased fracture.
Comparison of Bone Quality in Subjects with or without Type 2 Diabetes

Rochester, Minn.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that patients with T2DM will have greater deterioration in BMSi and in cortical porosity over 3 yrs as compared to sex- and age-matched non-diabetic controls; and identify the circulating hormonal (e.g., estradiol [E2], testosterone [T]) and biochemical (e.g., bone turnover markers, AGEs) determinants of changes in these key parameters of bone quality, and evaluate the possible relationship between existing diabetic complications and skeletal deterioration over time in the T2DM patients.
