“…In a community survey of 5585 people with an average age of 77 years old in the UK, it was found that the incidence of osteoporosis was more than 50% [ 6 ]. In osteoporosis patients, spine fractures and hip fractures are common; they affect the quality of life of patients, threaten the health of elderly patients, and can cause fatal complications [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Osteoporosis treatments include bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators, estrogens, and parathyroid hormones.…”

Osteoporosis is mainly a geriatric disease with a high incidence, and the resulting spinal fractures and hip fractures cause great harm to patients. Anti-osteoporosis drugs are the main treatment for osteoporosis currently, but these drugs have potential clinical limitations and side effects, so the development of new therapies is of great significance to patients with osteoporosis. Electrical stimulation therapy mainly includes pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), direct current (DC), and capacitive coupling (CC). Meanwhile, electrical stimulation therapy is clinically convenient without side effects. In recent years, many researchers have explored the use of electrical stimulation therapy for osteoporosis. Based on this, the role of electrical stimulation therapy in osteoporosis was summarized. In the future, electrical stimulation might become a new treatment for osteoporosis.
