Trial summary

The association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use and bone mass density (BMD) has been debated. Some have suggested features of depression, which SSRIs are prescribed to treat, may be a cause of decreased BMD, such as poor overall food intake at the time of SSRI use. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Nutrition Status, Bone Mass Density, and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

The association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use and bone mass density (BMD) has been debated. Some have suggested features of depression, which SSRIs are prescribed to treat, may be a cause of decreased BMD, such as poor overall food intake at the time of SSRI use. Our study seeks to determine whether SSRI use in adults is associated with lower than average BMD, and if there is an association between low micronutrient intake, SSRI use, and a low BMD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of BMD, run by University of New Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: This is not a clinical trial and is only a retrospective chart review. This was inadvertently entered into the system as a clinical trial.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

BMD t-score (time frame: NHANES DXA measurement taken 2005-2014). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jan 2024.
