Abstract:
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of medication-based acupuncture on osteoporotic compression fracture and explore clinical effective intervention in the patients. Method Fifty-six patients were randomized to acupuncture-medicine and medicine groups, 28 cases each. The clinical therapeutic effects were evaluated after treatment. Bone density, BGP and IL-6 were measured before and after treatment. Result BGP and IL-6 decreased significantly in the two groups after treatment compared with before (P<0.01) and decreased more in the acupuncture-medicine group than in the medicine group (P<0.05). BMD increased significantly in the acupuncture-medicine group after treatment compared with before (P<0.05) and did not increased significantly in the medicine group after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Warm needling moxibustion plus medication is effective than medication alone in treating osteoporotic compression fracture. It can decrease serum BGP and IL-6 contents and relieve the clinical symptoms in the patients. Acupuncture plus medicine not only produces a marked analgesic effect but also has a positive role in preventing the aggravation of osteoporosis and avoiding second fracture.
