Laser and physiotherapy for bone health in postmenopausal women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining high-intensity laser therapy with physiotherapy can improve bone density in postmenopausal women with low bone mass (osteopenia or osteoporosis). It aims to find a non-drug way to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman past menopause, between 50 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis (a bone density T-score below -1.0).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30.
- You have not had any bone fractures.
- You have not used medications that affect bone metabolism (like bisphosphonates, steroids, or hormone therapy) recently.
- You have not had physiotherapy in the last 3 months, and you do not have conditions that would make laser therapy unsafe (like cancer, bleeding disorders, or implanted electronic devices).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if manual therapy (hands-on treatment by a therapist) can reduce low back pain in postmenopausal women who have osteopenia, a condition where bones are weaker than normal but not yet osteoporosis. It aims to help with pain located in the lower back area.
This trial tests whether combining resistance training with the drug rapamycin can improve bone formation in postmenopausal women who have lower-than-normal bone density but not osteoporosis. It aims to find a new way to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.
This study looks at how well your blood vessels work and how strong your muscles are, in women after menopause with osteoporosis. You may be asked to start standard osteoporosis treatment, and the researchers will study pain and changes related to vascular function and sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength).
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve bone health in women aged 60 to 74 with osteopenia (low bone density, but not osteoporosis). Participation involves supervised exercise sessions and bone density measurements.
This study tests whether a laser therapy applied to specific points on the body can help with weight and body shape in women going through menopause who are overweight. It aims to find a safe, non-invasive option for weight management.
This trial studies whether a low-intensity nanosecond laser can improve vaginal atrophy (vaginal thinning) and related symptoms. It may help reduce discomfort for people who fit the study conditions and can complete the required visits and procedures.
