Mobility after vertebroplasty vs sham for spine fractures from osteoporosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older and have a broken bone in your spine (between T6 and L5) due to osteoporosis.
- Your fracture is recent (pain started within the last 3 months) and painful (score of 60 or higher on a 0-100 pain scale).
- The broken bone shows swelling on MRI, and the fracture is one of types 1-4 (not a severe crushing or pincer type).
- You have no more than 4 broken vertebrae, and all can be treated in one session.
- You can understand Danish and do not have any conditions that would make surgery unsafe (like active infection, cancer, or severe memory problems).

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.
This trial tests a device called Vessel-X to treat broken vertebrae (spine bones) caused by osteoporosis or injury. It aims to see if the device is safe and helps stabilize the spine.
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.
This trial tests whether adding a procedure called vertebroplasty to usual care can better reduce back pain from multiple myeloma. It’s for people who have a small number of spine fractures in a specific area and significant pain.
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 trial studies a minimally invasive procedure to treat very severe, unstable compression fractures in the spine caused by osteoporosis. It may help people who have trouble tolerating standard open spine surgery, by aiming to restore stability and alignment.
