L2–4 BMD, bilateral femoral neck BMD, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded before the treatment or at the third and sixth months of the treatment respectively. After the ending of the treatment, the change of BMD in each group was compared and analyzed. Chronic back pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline and the third and sixth months of the treatment. Results Of the 116 women, 94 including 51 women from group A ((61.23±8.20) years) and 43 women from group B ((63.73±5.45) years), completed the study. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics including age, BMI, menopausal years, lumbar BMD, femoral neck BMD, and VAS between the two groups. The lumbar BMD of the 51 women in group A increased by 1.3% (P=0.034) after vibration treatment for 3 months and by 4.3% at the sixth month (P=0.000). The lumbar BMD in group B was decreased at the third month, but there was not statistical significance (P >0.05). At the sixth month, it was decreased by 1.9% (P 0.05). At the sixth month, the BMD was increased by 3.2% (P |
