Registered summary

Migraine is a debilitating illness and a major cause of disability in the world. It is highly prevalent, especially among women. Vitamin supplementation is a potential therapeutic option for migraines that remains largely under-explored. Several studies have shown that people with migraine tend to have higher arterial stiffness than people without migraine. Vitamin K2 deficiency is an important mediator of arterial stiffness and calcification due to decreased carboxylation of matrix Gla protein (MGP). The full summary is on the listing.

  • No phase
  • S.LAB (SOLOWAYS)
  • About 40 people
  • Started May 3, 2024

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 40 to 75. Conditions: Osteoporosis; Osteopenia.

  • Adults aged 40-75 years with a confirmed DXA-based diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis (T-score ≤ -1.0).
  • Stable dietary habits and willingness to maintain current exercise regimen throughout the study.
  • Willingness to undergo genotyping for the VDR variant. For the VDR Variant Cohort: confirmed homozygous "unfavorable" variant (e.g., BsmI or ApaI).
  • For the Non-Variant Cohort: confirmed absence of the "unfavorable" allele (wild-type).

The exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Vitamin K2 plus vitamin D3; Vitamin K2 plus vitamin D3

Registered summary

This pilot, genotype-stratified clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7) supplementation in patients with low bone mineral density (osteopenia or osteoporosis) who carry a specific "unfavorable" variant in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene (e.g., BsmI or ApaI polymorphisms). The trial will compare improvements in bone health and related biomarkers between two cohorts: (1) homozygous carriers of the VDR variant and (2) non-variant carriers (wild-type).

What it tests, as registered

Menaquinone

Registered summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of socket grafting with crushed vitamin K2 (menaquinone)capsules versus no grafting on bone density and socket dimensions following tooth extraction. Patients are randomly assigned to one of two groups: Study Group (Group I): Patients receive socket grafting with crushed vitamin K2 (menaquinone) capsules. The socket is covered with an absorbent sponge, and non-resorbable sutures are placed to stabilize the graft material and achieve soft tissue stability. The full summary is on the listing.
