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.
骨质疏松症主要是一种老年疾病，发病率较高，由此导致的脊柱骨折和髋部骨折对患者造成极大危害。抗骨质疏松药物是目前治疗骨质疏松症的主要手段，但这些药物存在潜在的临床局限性和副作用，因此开发新的治疗方法对骨质疏松症患者具有重要意义。电刺激疗法主要包括脉冲电磁场（PEMF）、直流电（DC）和电容耦合（CC）。同时，电刺激疗法具有临床应用方便、无副作用等优点。近年来，许多研究人员探索了电刺激疗法在骨质疏松症中的应用。基于此，本文总结了电刺激疗法在骨质疏松症中的作用。未来，电刺激可能成为治疗骨质疏松症的一种新方法。
