Vertebroplasty vs. sham for spine fractures due to osteoporosis
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into a fractured spine bone) relieves pain better than a sham (fake) procedure. It is for people with painful spine fractures caused by osteoporosis (weak bones) that started within the last three months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older.
- You have a painful spine fracture caused by osteoporosis, confirmed by an MRI scan showing swelling in the bone.
- The pain started within the last 3 months and is severe (score of 60 or higher on a 0-to-100 pain scale).
- The fracture is between the T6 and L5 bones in your spine (the middle and lower back).
- You are able to read and understand Danish.
- Up to 4 spine bones are fractured, and the doctor says the procedure can be done in one session.

This study tests a new classification system to help doctors decide the best treatment for spine fractures caused by osteoporosis. It aims to improve pain and mobility by matching treatment to fracture type.
This trial compares a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into the broken bone) with a sham (fake) procedure to see how it affects your ability to move and be active. It's for people with recent painful spinal fractures caused by weak bones (osteoporosis).
This study tests a combination treatment for painful spinal fractures caused by thinning bones (osteoporosis) or tumors. It may help people with one or more recently broken vertebrae in the mid or lower back.
This study tests a new method for treating recent spine fractures caused by weak bones (osteoporosis). A surgeon injects special cement into the broken vertebra to stabilize it and reduce pain. You'll be one of the first to receive this standardized technique.
