Vitamin C levels and osteoporosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether vitamin C levels in the blood affect osteoporosis. Researchers want to compare people who recently had a spine fracture with those who have low bone density but no fractures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man 50 or older, or a woman who has gone through menopause.
- You have either 1) a recent spine fracture (within the past month) or 2) a bone density test showing osteoporosis (T-score -2.5 or lower).
- You do not have a severe osteoporotic fracture in your past (unless you also have a recent spine fracture).
- You do not have a spine fracture caused by a tumor, infection, or trauma.
- You are covered by a health insurance system and can give signed consent.
- You are not under guardianship or other legal protection.

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 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 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 study aims to help adults over 50 who had a recent bone fracture (from a minor fall) get better follow-up care to prevent future fractures. You will work with a nurse or coordinator to connect with your primary care doctor and learn about bone health options.
This study checks whether people with Meniere’s disease have different bone density (bone strength) compared with expected patterns. It may help spot bone health risks early, especially if you’re affected by other conditions or medicines that weaken bones.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program (circuit training) can improve bone density in women after menopause who have low bone mass. It may help strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.
