Bone Loss After Stroke: New X-ray Detection Method
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had one stroke at least 6 months ago
- You have weakness on one side of your body from the stroke
- You have shoulder X-rays and bone density scans from within 6 months after your stroke
- You have never had shoulder surgery or a broken upper arm bone
- You do not have other bone or metabolic diseases, cancer history, or long-term steroid use

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) model that uses X-ray images to predict bone density. If you have X-rays and a bone density scan, the AI may help doctors screen for osteoporosis without extra tests.
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 trial uses scans like X-rays, CT, or MRI to study how bones and joints age. It aims to understand aging-related problems and may help develop better ways to detect or treat them.
This study checks how common bone problems are in people with thyroid cancer. It uses a chest x-ray done before surgery to look at the spine's shape.
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.
This study compares a newer, no-radiation bone scan (REMS) with the standard DXA scan to see if it's just as good at diagnosing osteoporosis and predicting fractures. If you're already getting a DXA scan, you might be able to participate and help improve bone health testing.
