Protocol summary
Study aim
To determine and comparison of the effect of Curcumin, Nigella Sativa, Curcumin and Nigella Sativa on cellular-molecular and clinical outcomes in postmenopausal women with primary osteoporosis.
Design
In this triple-blind randomized, controlled trial with four parallel arms, 120 postmenopausal women with primary osteoporosis will be randomly assigned into four groups using block randomization with block sizes of 4 and 8, and the ratio of 1: 1: 1: 1, receiving 1) Nigella Sativa, 2) Curcumin nano-missile, 3) Nigella Sativa and Curcumin nano-missile, or 4) both placebo, and will receive the intervention for 6 months.
Settings and conduct
Eligible women will be selected using the information available in Tabriz's health centers, after necessary assessments and receiving written informed consent and will be randomized into one of the four groups, receiving the treatments for six months. Participants, investigators, and statistical analyst will be blinded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Postmenopausal women aged 50 to 65; Low bone density (T-score <-2.5) in lumbar spine or hip (total and femoral neck)
Exclusion criteria: T-score≤-4 in the lumbar spine, T-score≤-3.5 in the hip and femoral neck; taking drugs affecting bone metabolism; systemic diseases and hormonal disorders; coagulation disorders; gastrointestinal ulcers; gallstone
Intervention groups
Receiving the following daily treatments:
group 1: one 1000 mg Nigella Sativa oil capsule and one Curcumin placebo;
group 2: one 80 mg Curcumin-nanomicelle capsule and one Nigella Sativa placebo
group 3: one Curcumin and one Nigella Sativa capsule; and
group 4: placebo of both drugs.
Main outcome variables
Bone mineral density, serum levels of bone turnover markers (Osteocalcin, Osteopontin, Total ALP), and serum levels of some inflammatory and oxidative factors (TAC, SOD, MDA, TNF-α, HS-CRP, IL-6)
General information
Reason for update
Hi, Hereby, the study protocol in the measuring part of serum level "CTX","BSAP","P1NP" was changed to "osteopontin" and "alkaline phosphatase (ALP)" as alternatives due to high cost and impossibility of assaying. Please agree.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Women with primary osteoporosis were randomly assigned into four groups recieving: 1) Nigella Sativa capsule and curcumin placebo; 2) curcumin capsule and Nigella Sativa placebo; 3) Nigella Sativa and curcumin capsule ; or 4) placebo capsules of Nigella Sativa and curcumin. Allocation sequence will be determined using random blocking of blocks 4 and 8 in RAS software (Random Allocation Software) using a 1: 1: 1: 1 assignment ratio. To conceal the allocation, the medications will be placed inside a consecutively numbered sealed opaque envelopes. Preparation of envelopes and sequence generation will be done by a person not involved in participant recruitment or data collection.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
The medications and their placebo will be prepared by the pharmaceutical company in identical shape, color and smell. Investigators, health care providers, outcome assessors, and statistical analyst will be blinded.
