I have been using the Osteoboost for about four months and I’m hoping that it preserves my gains from Tymlos injections. Has anyone used the Osteoboost long enough (maybe a year or more) to document improvement in DEXA scores attributable to its use?

@syasin Osteoboost is an FDA-cleared, prescription-only wearable vibrating belt designed to slow bone density loss in postmenopausal women with osteopenia. Osteoboost is not studied or cleared for the treatment of osteoporosis. If you already have osteoporosis, the primary medical goal changes from slowing down loss to actively building bone density back up and strengthening the bone architecture to stop fractures. Osteoboost has not been shown to increase bone density or build new bone. The Osteoboost "Indications for Use" explicitly state that fracture risk reduction was not evaluated in its clinical trials. The manufacturer, Bone Health Technologies, has plans to conduct future clinical trials to see if the device can expand to help people with full osteoporosis.
