New program aims to prevent second fractures in older women
NCT ID NCT01780012
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program to help women over 50 who had a wrist or arm fracture get proper follow-up care for osteoporosis. The program included oral advice, a leaflet, and phone reminders to see their doctor and get a bone density test. 436 women took part, and the study compared those who got the program to those who received usual care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Osteoporosis prevention program (education, leaflet, phone reminders)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help more women get the bone care they need after a fracture, potentially preventing future breaks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed behavioral study, not a drug trial. The program may not change doctor or patient behavior as hoped, and results may not apply to all women.
