CCEF in the Treatment of Acute VFFs: Randomized Controlled Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

in recent years the search for therapeutic protocols that could enhance the VFFs healing, thus reducing bed rest-related complications and improving the quality of life of osteoporotic patients. In this context, biophysical stimulation with Capacitively Coupling Electric Fields (CCEF) together, antiresorptive therapy, vitamin D supplementation, and analgesic drugs could play a central role. CCEF is a non-invasive type of biophysical stimulation used to enhance fracture repair and spinal fusion. Positive effects of CCEF have been reported in osteoporotic vertebral fractures to resolve chronic pain and in postoperative pain, disability, and quality of life after spinal fusion In a preliminary observational study, Piazzolla et al. showed a significantly faster VBME resolution and back pain improvement in patients suffering from VFFs.

Clinical Trial Description

Between January 2015 and December 2020, patients referring to the spine centres participating in this multicentre randomized controlled trial with acute VFFs type OF1 or OF2 were included in the present study. Ethical clearance was obtained from our centre's clinical research ethics, as per the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki, and all patients gave informed consent before enrolment in the study. ;
