BHS4 - Bone/Muscle Changes Following Hip Fracture in Older White Women
NCT00390741 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The major goals of this study are: 1. To conduct an intervention development study to evaluate the feasibility of implementing an exercise intervention for reduction losses in bone mineral density, muscle mass, and strength, and clinically relevant aspects of functioning following a hip fracture, and to obtain preliminary tests of the effective ness of these interventions. 2. To evaluate the effect of home-based exercise intervention on bone metabolism. 3. To evaluate the effects of hip fracture on bone metabolism. 4. To evaluate the effects of exercise and hip fracture on hormonal regulators. 5. To evaluate the association between markers of bone metabolism hormone regulators, and BMD. 6. To separate out the effects of hip fracture on bone turnover from those of aging in persons with low bone mineral density.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00390741
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00390741 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 170 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Maryland, Baltimore, which has 559 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Hip Fracture appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Exercise Plus Program is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00390741 reports 3 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
