2014 World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases: Randomized placebo controlled trial of dynamic electroneurostimulation efficiency in patients with osteoporotic spine fractures

60 postmenopausal women at least one osteoporotic vertebral fracture were randomized to receive dynamic electroneurostimulation (DENS) or placebo treatment to determine the effect of DENS on back pain and quality of life. Upon analysis, 10 treatment sessions of dynamic electroneurostimulation once daily (or every other day) was associated with significantly reduced back pain and improved quality of life in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures, as measured using a visual analog scale and the Qualeffo, respectively.
