Progress in Rehabilitation of Chronic Pain after Vertebroplasty of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture
Osteoporosis is one of the major chronic diseases affecting the elderly population.Vertebral compression frac-ture is a common complication.The conventional surgical treatment is vertebroplasty,which can greatly relieve the pain of patients.However,due to the patients'physical deficiency of blood stasis,muscle fascia injury,surgical method,bone ce-ment dispersion or leakage,psychological reasons,etc.,the patients'pain can be greatly relieved.There are still chronic pain,residual pain and other problems after surgery,which seriously affect the quality of life of patients,so the rehabilita-tion treatment after osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture is very critical.Relevant studies have shown that rehabili-tation treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can effectively relieve chronic pain after surgery.For exam-ple,traditional Chinese medicine can improve clinical symptoms by nourishing Yin,invigorating Yang and removing damp-ness,and Western medicine can relieve postoperative pain by combining analgesic drugs with anti-osteoporosis drugs.Therefore,this paper discusses the causes of chronic pain after orthopedic surgery for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.The research progress of traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation and Western medicine rehabilitation is re-viewed.
