Study Summary

This trial will study the changes in people's skeletal structure over time. It will use x-rays to examine 25 males and 25 females per decade, in order to understand how the skeleton changes as people age.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 21-85 with no history of spine surgery. It's not suitable for those who've had knee replacements, severe joint arthritis, spinal trauma or surgery, certain disability scores, inflammatory disorders, significant past fractures or surgeries on the pelvis or lower limbs, are pregnant, have a history of cancer or a BMI over 37.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study uses EOS imaging—a low dose full-body x-ray system—to observe changes in skeletal structure every decade to understand normal aging patterns. With an equal number of male and female volunteers per age group (25 each), it aims to create a standard expectation of skeletal changes as people get older.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves only taking an x-ray using the EOS imaging system which emits low doses of radiation, side effects are minimal but may include brief exposure to radiation comparable to natural background levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are adults aged 40 and above being considered as candidates for this research?

"This trial is exclusive to individuals aged 21 - 85, though there are 2 separate studies that accept minors and people over 65 years old."

Answered by AI

Would I qualify to enroll in this clinical trial?

"For this trial, 60 individuals aged 21 to 85 with lumbar osteoarthritis are being recruited. Additionally, only those without a history of spine surgery that identify as male or female can be considered participants."

Answered by AI

Is it currently possible to join this scientific investigation?

"Affirmative. Information posted on clinicaltrials.gov declares that this experiment, initially uploaded to the website on September 1st 2016, is presently recruiting participants from a single site and requires 60 volunteers."

Answered by AI

What is the maximum number of participants that this research program will accommodate?

"Affirmative. The information on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrates that this trial is actively enrolling participants, having been first posted back in September 2016 and most recently updated on the 18th of August 2022. Specifically, 60 patients must be recruited from a single medical centre."
