The state of Nebraska currently has 1 active clinical trials seeking participants for Type 1 Diabetes research studies. These trials are conducted in various cities, including Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney and Grand Island.
Skeletal Effects of Type 1 Diabetes on Low-Trauma Fracture Risk
Recruiting
Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) have a higher risk of low-trauma (osteoporotic) fracture that is 7-12 times higher than non-diabetics. The bone density of people with Type 1 Diabetes is higher at the time of fracture than in non-diabetics. This suggests the presence of underlying bone tissue mechanical defects. The potential benefits to participants would be knowledge gained about their bone density and the results of laboratory tests. On a wider scale, there may be general benefit... Read More
