Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 492 0

The difference between the change in bone turnover markers.
Timepoint [1] 1056 0

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Medication was prepared by a doctor not involved with study participants. The medication was then administered by a study nurse who was unaware of the contents. Thus all study personnel with patient contact were blinded.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Computer-generated random numbers in variable blocks.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
