This Australian count is likely to be on the low side. It counts the trials this site files under this condition; the registry’s own search is broader and also returns closely related conditions, some of which have their own page here. If you are searching widely, check the registry as well — every trial below links to its own record.

Trials overseas
186 trials for this condition are open to new participants outside Australia, as ClinicalTrials.gov listed them on 11 October 2026. Voxsanity does not publish a page for any of them; the searches below reach them at the registry.
These overseas counts are likely too high. They come from the registry’s own search, which expands a condition name to related conditions, so some of the trials counted are for a different disease in the same family.

About Osteoporosis
The text below is reproduced exactly as its source published it. It has not been edited, shortened or rewritten.
What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a disease in which your bones become weak and are likely to fracture (break). The disease can develop when your bone mineral density and bone mass decrease. It can also happen if the structure and strength of your bones change. Osteoporosis is called a "silent" disease because it doesn't usually cause symptoms. You may not even know you have the disease until you break a bone. This could happen with any bone, but it's most common in the bones of your hip, vertebrae in the spine, and wrist. What causes osteoporosis? Your bones are made of living tissue. To keep them strong, your body breaks down old bone and replaces it with new bone. Osteoporosis develops when more bone is broken down than replaced. You lose bone mass and changes happen in the structure of your bone tissue. This can happen as you get older. Other risk factors can also lead to the development of osteoporosis or increase your chance of developing the disease. Who is more likely to develop osteoporosis? Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but you are more likely to develop it if you have one or more risk factors: - Your sex. Osteoporosis is more common in women, especially after menopause (postmenopausal). - Your age. Your risk increases as you get older. It is most common in people over age 50. - Your body size. It is more common in people who are slim and thin boned. - Your race: - White and Asian women are at highest risk. - African American and Mexican American women have a lower risk. - White men are at higher risk than African American and Mexican American men. - Family history. Your risk of osteoporosis may be higher if one of your parents has osteoporosis or broke their hip. - Changes to hormones. Low levels of certain hormones can increase your chance of developing osteoporosis. - Diet. A diet that is low in calcium and/or vitamin D or does not include enough protein can raise your risk. - Long-term use of certain medicines, such as: - Corticosteroids - Proton pump inhibitors (which treat GERD) - Medicines to treat epilepsy - Having other medical conditions, such as: - Endocrine diseases - Certain digestive diseases - Rheumatoid arthritis - Certain types of cancer - HIV - Anorexia nervosa, a type of eating disorder - Your lifestyle. Certain lifestyle factors can contribute to bone loss, such as: - Smoking tobacco - Long-term heavy alcohol use - Physical inactivity or prolonged periods of bedrest What are the symptoms of osteoporosis? Osteoporosis usually doesn't cause symptoms. You may not know that you have it until you break a bone. How is osteoporosis diagnosed? Health care providers often diagnose osteoporosis during routine screening for the disease. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for: - Women age 65 and older - Postmenopausal women under age 65 who have factors that increase the chance of developing osteoporosis For men, it isn't clear yet whether regular screening is helpful. More research is needed to know for sure. To find out if you have osteoporosis, your provider: - Will ask about your medical history and whether you have ever broken a bone - May do a physical exam, which could include checking for: - A loss of height and/or weight - Changes in your posture - Balance and gait (the way you walk) - Your muscle strength - Will likely order a bone density scan - May do a fracture risk assessment, which is a short questionnaire that helps estimate your risk of breaking a bone in the next 10 years - Will likely order a bone density scan - May do a fracture risk assessment, which is a short questionnaire that helps estimate your risk of breaking a bone in the next 10 years What are the treatments for osteoporosis? The goals for treating osteoporosis are to slow or stop bone loss and to prevent fractures. Your provider may recommend: - A healthy, balanced diet that includes enough calcium, vitamin D, and protein - Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol - Regular physical activity including weight-bearing exercise (like walking), strength training, and balance exercises - Fall prevention to help prevent fractures - Medicines, such as: - Medicines that slow down bone loss - Medicines that help rebuild bone In addition to managing your osteoporosis, it's important to avoid activities that may cause a fracture. These can include movements that involve: - Twisting your spine, like swinging a golf club - Bending forward from the waist, like sit ups and toe touches You can also help reduce the risk of breaking a bone by preventing falls. Can osteoporosis be prevented? To help keep bones strong and help prevent osteoporosis, the best thing to do is to eat a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Getting regular physical activity, limiting alcohol, and not smoking can also help. NIH: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases

Voxsanity reformats data from public registries into this layout. It does not edit, interpret or add to what the registry published.
Not medical advice.
Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.
