Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary aim is to test the reduction of bone marrow edema syndrome after a singular intravenous treatment with Zoledronic Acid within 6 weeks compared to placebo. The volume of the edema is defined as biometric data measured by the use of MRT before and six weeks after treatment. The hypothesis has to be checked whether Zoledronic Acid is efficient in the treatment of painfull bone marrow edema. A statistically significant reduction of the edema in the MRT is considered as evidence for efficacy.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to assess safety and tolerance of the study medication compared to placebo as well as changes in the following parameters: Reduction of pain (VAS) Quality of life (Qualeffo-41 questionnaire) Subjective estimation of medical condition (PDI) Number of additional medicinal visits Number of days of illness Descriptive analysis of side effects and changes of the parameter concerning the osteologic values Number of aseptic bone necrosis and fatigue fractures;Primary end point(s): The primary aim is to test the reduction of bone marrow edema syndrome after a singular intravenous treatment with Zoledronic Acid within 6 weeks compared to placebo. The volume of the edema is defined as biometric data measured by use of MRT before and 6 weeks after treatment.The hypothesis has to be checked whether Zoledronic Acid is efficient in the treatment of painfull bone marrow edema. A statistically significant reduction of the edema in the MRT is considered as evidence for efficacy. Primary endpoints: -Reduction of the Edema area -Assessment of pain;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: -Reduction of the Edema area: Week 6 after study start -Assessment of pain: Week 0, 3, 6 after study start

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary objectives are to assess safety and tolerance of the study medication compared to placebo as well as changes in the following parameters: Reduction of pain (VAS) Quality of life (Qualeffo-41 questionnaire) Subjective estimation of medical condition (PDI) Number of additional medicinal visits Number of days of illness Descriptive analysis of side effects and changes of the parameter concerning the osteologic values Number of aseptic bone necrosis and fatigue fractures;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Reduction of pain (VAS) Quality of life (Qualeffo-41 questionnaire): Week 0, 3, 6 Subjective estimation of medical condition (PDI): Week 0, 3, 6 Number of additional medicinal visits: Week 0, 3, 6 Number of days of illness: Week 0, 3, 6 Descriptive analysis of side effects and changes of the parameter concerning the osteologic values: Week 3, 6 Number of aseptic bone necrosis and fatigue fractures: Optional
