Capacitive biophysical stimulation improves the healing of vertebral fragility fractures: a prospective multicentre randomized controlled trial

ConclusionBiophysical stimulation with CCEF, as an adjunct to traditional conservative treatment, is a useful tool to hasten the VBME resolution process and prevent vertebral body deformation. These MRI findings also correlate with faster back pain resolution and quality of life improvement. From the third follow-up after treatment until the 6-month follow-up, stimulated patients reported a significantly lower paracetamol consumption than control patients, even though back pain and quality of life showed no significant differences between the two groups.Level of evidenceII.Trial Registration Register: ClinicalTrials.gov, number: NCT05803681.
