温针与中药并用治疗骨质疏松症的研究

目的：探讨温针与中药并用治疗骨质疏松症的疗效。方法：将60例骨质疏松症患者随机分为治疗组（30例）和对照组（30例），治疗组采用温针法（隔日1次，15次为一疗程，6个疗程后复查结果）并用中药法，对照组采用中药法（给予仙灵骨葆胶囊）每日2次，1．5g/次，4周为一疗程，6个疗程后复查结果。结果：治疗组有效率为93．33％，对照组有效率为86．67％，两组之间疗效比较呈显著差异（P＜0．05），两组治疗后脾肾阳虚症状十项指标的积分比较，均有显著差异（P＜0．05），骨密度两项指标，治疗组治疗后与治疗前比较，差异显著（P＜0．01），而与对照组治疗后比较，则无显著差异（P＞0．05），生化方面的4项指标，治疗组治疗后与治疗前比较，差异显著（P＜0．01），而与对照组治疗后比较，则无显著差异（P＞0．05），结论：温针与中药并用治疗骨质疏松症疗效更明显，长期应用无明显毒副反应。

Study on the treatment of osteoporosis by means of warming needle moxibustion combined with traditional Chinese medicine

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of the treatment for osteoporosis by means of warming needle moxibustion combined with traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:Sixty patients with osteoporosis were allocated randomly and evenly into treatment group and control group. The patients in treatment group (n=30) received warming needle moxibustion qod. Each course involved 15 times of treatment and examinations were repeated after 6 courses of treatment. They also received traditional Chinese medicine treatment. While the patients in control group (n=30) received traditional Chinese medicine Xian-Ling-Gu-Bao capsules 1.5g bid for 4 weeks as a course and examinations were repeated after 6 courses.Results:The effective rate was 93.33% in the treatment group and 86.67% in the control group, the difference between the 2 groups was significant statistically (P<0.05). The integrals of ten items for symptoms of spleen-YANG and kidney-YANG in the two groups were compared, and showed significant difference (P<0.05). The two items of bone density for the treatment group after treating showed significant difference as compared with the data before treating (P<0.01), while there was no remarkable difference as compared with the data for the control group after treatment (P>0.05). The four biochemical items for the treatmant group after treating observed significant difference as compared with the data before treating (P<0.01), while there was no remarkable difference as compared with the data for the control group after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion:The efficacy of treating osteoporosis by means of warming meedle moxibustion combined with traditional Chinese medicine is more prominent and its long term use does not bring forth obvious toxic side effect.
