NCT01482858
Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate the safety and analgesic effect (efficacy) of Gastrolith powder (GASP) on skeletal pain caused by osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) versus placebo, primarily as assessed by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). It is also intended to evaluate disability change with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI) and to evaluate whether GASP consumption leads to reduction in analgesic standard of care (ASOC) versus placebo, using weekly analgesic consumption diaries.
Detailed Description:
Eighty (80) Osteoporotic subjects with recent reported severe back pain caused by OVCF will be blindly randomized into two groups (n=40 each). One group will receive GASP and the other Placebo.
The analgesic effect of GASP on top of the ASOC will be evaluated using weekly NRS and BPI assessments and three ODI questionnaires. Daily ASOC consumption will be monitored using weekly analgesic consumption diaries.
