Quantitative Ultrasound Use to Increase Geriatric Follow-up for Osteoporosis

NCT04691869 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2022-04-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether patient follow up for osteoporosis is aided using a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurement.

Using the QUS measurement could potentially improve osteoporosis follow-up rates, and in-office patient measurements have been previously shown to increase compliance with treatment in other conditions. Increased compliance with follow-ups and medication recommendations have been shown to decrease fracture rates in patients with osteoporosis.
