WCO-IOF: Dynamic electroneurostimulation vs placebo for osteoporotic spine fractures .
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.
