Clinical Trial: Large-Scale Evaluation of a Clinical Decision Tree for the Management of Low-Energy Thoracic and Lumbar Vertebral Compression Fractures.

U.S., July 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07706439) titled 'Large-Scale Evaluation of a Clinical Decision Tree for the Management of Low-Energy Thoracic and Lumbar Vertebral Compression Fractures.' on July 10.

Brief Summary: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is widely used for low-energy vertebral compression fractures, but its clinical benefits remain debated. Studies and meta-analyses have reported mixed results, while complications occur in a significant proportion of patients, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection. To standardize management, a clinical decision tree was developed based on patient age, MRI findings, pain severity (VAS), and radiological deformity.
