Clinical effects of Bushen Quyu Decoction combined with conventional treatment on patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis due to Kidney Deficiency and Blood Stasis
AIM To investigate the clinical effects of Bushen Quyu Decoction combined with conventional treatment on patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis due to Kidney Deficiency and Blood Stasis.METHODS One hundred and six patients were randomly assigned into control group(53 cases)for 6-month intervention of conventional treatment,and observation group(53 cases)for 6-month intervention of both Bushen Quyu Decoction and conventional treatment.The changes in clinical effects,TCM syndrome scores,bone metabolism indices(β-CTX,PINP,BGP),bone mineral density,oxidative stress indices(SOD,AOPP,MAOA)and incidence of adverse reactions were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total effective rate than the control group(P<0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased TCM syndrome scores,β-CTX,BGP,AOPP,MAOA(P<0.05),and increased PINP,bone mineral density,SOD(P<0.05),especially for the observation group(P<0.05).No significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions was found between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION For the patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis due to Kidney Deficiency and Blood Stasis,Bushen Quyu Decoction combined with conventional treatment can safely and effectively improve bone mineral density,bone metabolism indices,and alleviate oxidative stress responses.
