肾俞穴位埋线治疗原发性骨质疏松症5年骨折率调查

Investigation on the rate of bone fracture of primary osteoporosis treated by embedding thread at Shenshu (BL 23) during five years

目的:探讨肾俞穴位埋线防治原发性骨质疏松症的临床疗效。方法:对2001-2003年采用肾俞穴位埋线和药物治疗的原发性骨质疏松患者70例进行随访调查,分析其治疗前后骨密度值和5年骨折发病率。结果:穴位埋线组治疗后腰、髋部骨密度均有提高,与药物组比较,股骨颈、股骨大粗隆部骨密度差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。穴位埋线组5年骨折率为2.1%(1/48),明显低于药物组的18.2%(4/22)(P<0.05)。结论:肾俞穴位埋线治疗能提高原发性骨质疏松症患者的骨密度,并明显降低5年骨折率。

Objective To observe the clinical effect of embedding thread at Shenshu （BL 23） for preventing and treating primary osteoporosis. Methods Seventy cases, who had been treated in 2001--2003 at our hospital, were selected and the bone mineral density （BMD） before and after treatment and the incidence condition of bone fracture during 5 years after treatment were analyzed in the embedding thread group and the medication group. Results The BMDs of hip and lumbar vertebrae were both increased in the embedding thread group, and the BMDs of femoral neck and femoral troehanter in this group were significantly higher than those in the medication group （both P〈0.05）. The rate of bone fracture during 5 years after treatment was 2.1% （1/48） in the embedding thread group, which was significantly lower than 18.2% （4/22） in the medication group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Embedding thread at Shenshu （BL 23） can raise the BMD of primary osteoporosis and significantly reduce the rate of bone fracture during 5 years.
