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 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 study looks at bone health in people over 50 who have had a low-impact fracture in the last two years but do not have osteoporosis. It will help doctors better understand who might need treatment to prevent future breaks.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program helps people recover strength and prevent future fractures after breaking a bone due to osteoporosis. Participants will work with trainers on safe, gradual movement to rebuild bone health.
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.
This study looks for new markers and treatment targets for osteoporosis by comparing bone tissue from women with a broken hip (due to weak bones) and women getting a hip replacement for arthritis. You may be eligible if you are postmenopausal and have one of these hip conditions.
