Osteoporosis risk after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at bone health in people who have had a stroke. It aims to find out who is at risk for weak bones (osteoporosis) after a stroke, so doctors can help prevent fractures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic) between 1 week and 6 months ago, or more than 1 year ago.
- You are between 55 and 85 years old.
- You have not had a bone density scan in the last year.
- You have not been treated for osteoporosis before or after your stroke.
- You did not have a bone fracture before your stroke or a hip fracture or hip replacement.
- Your stroke caused some loss of physical function.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how balance, arm function, and body awareness are related in people who have had a stroke. It may help understand how these factors affect recovery and daily life.
This study follows people who have had a minor bone break but whose bone density is not in the osteoporosis range. It aims to learn more about bone health in this group, which may help doctors better prevent future fractures.
This study tests whether a new way of measuring X-rays can detect bone loss in the shoulder after a stroke. The research may help doctors identify patients at risk for fractures earlier.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people who have had a fracture due to osteoporosis. It aims to help improve strength and reduce the risk of future fractures.
This study looks at how long people with osteoporosis or fragility fractures wait before getting treatment to prevent more fractures, and what effects that delay might have. If you have had a fracture from a minor fall or no clear cause, this research may help improve future care.
This study looks at ways to prevent and treat “brittle bone” refractures after a recent fracture in people with osteoporosis. If you’ve had a new hip, spine, or other bone fracture, the trial may test strategies to lower the chance of another fracture.
