Efficacy of Nebido on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in Hypogonadal Paraplegic Patients With Confirmed Osteoporosis

April 13, 2010 updated by: Bayer

Nebido® Therapy in Hypogonadal Male Patients With Osteoporosis Associated With Paraplegia Compared With Conventional Osteoporosis - Prophylaxis / Therapy in Hypogonadal and Eugonadal Patients With Osteoporosis Associated With Paraplegia

Both conditions hypogonadism and immobilisation (paraplegia) may contribute or lead to decreased bone mineral density resp osteoporosis. In this study bone mineral density is assessed in hypogonadal paraplegic patients, who are on standard prophylactic therapy for osteoporosis and and on a standard physiotherapy exercise program one group receiving Nebido for testosterone replacement (TRT). The additional effect of TRT on bone mineral density / osteoporosis is assessed (CT scan lumbar spine).
