Physiotherapy, Nutritional Supplement and Anabolic Steroids in Rehabilitation of Patients With Hip Fracture.
NCT ID: NCT03545347 Phase: PHASE2 Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 29 Completion: 2020-06-03
Conditions
Hip Fractures
Interventions
Nandrolone Decanoate, Protein-rich nutritional supplement, Physical therapy, Sodium Chloride 9mg/ml Injection
Summary
This pilot trial investigates the preliminary effect and safety of a 12 week multi-modal intervention initiated during admission in the acute ward after hip fracture surgery. The intervention under investigation is a combination therapy consisting of physiotherapy, protein-rich nutritional supplement and nandrolone decanoate (Deca-Durabolin) supplement. The investigators expect the combination therapy to be a preliminary effective and safe treatment in elderly patients with hip fracture and that this combination therapy intervention program is more efficacious in improving muscle strength, and physical function 14 weeks after hip fracture surgery, compared to physiotherapy, protein-rich nutritional supplement plus placebo.
Primary Outcome
Change in maximal isometric knee-extension strength (Nm/Kg) in the fractured limb.
