About this study

Official title: Effect and Cost Comparation of Different Treatment Strategies for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures (OVF): Teriparatide Injection and Percutaneous Vertebroplasty (PVP)

This study aimed to compare teriparatide treatments and PVPs, focusing on its effects on life qualities and effect/coast ratio and evaluate which method is better for patients.

Read the detailed description

Osteoporosis and osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF)s are the common diseases that affect the qualities of senior people. The general treatments for OVFs including percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) operation and conservative treatments with pain killers. But with the widely used methods, the life quality of patients were still not satisfied. Teriparatide has been proven to increase bone qualities in patients with severe osteoporosis and reduced the fracture possibilities. The investigators' previous clinical observation found teriparatide could be applied to treat fresh OVFs.

90 participants who diagnosed fresh OVFS were included in the trial. After they received each of three kinds of interventions mentioned in this study, The investigators followed up all these cases. Once 30 cases goal reaches in a certain group, the data collection in that special will stop automatically. The quality of life, pain score and BMDs will be evaluated in certain time during the trial.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TeriparatideDrug

    subcutaneous injection of teriparatide(20 mg) once daily

  • PVPProcedure or surgery

    With local anesthesia, bone cement was injected in to fractured body in a needle that penetrated transpedically and percutaneously

  • AlendronateDrug

    Alendronate Sodium, oral, 70mg, once a week

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quality of life of the patients

    The quality of life will be evaluated with SF-36 questionaire

    Measured: Change from pre treatment at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pain cause by the fracture

    VAS score will be used to evaluate the pain caused by OVF

    Measured: Change from pre treatment at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post treatment

  2. Bone healing

    Bone healing will be evaluated with MRI scanning

    Measured: 3 month after treatment

  3. Bone mineral density

    Bone mineral density will be evaluated with DEXA.

    Measured: Change from pre treatment at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post treatment
