骨质疏松症的中医认识及防治

TCM cognition and prophylaxis and treatment of osteoporosis

随着人口老龄化的持续进展,骨质疏松症(osteoporosis,OP)不容小觑,已位居慢性病第三位。其初期通常无明显的临床表现,往往在出现脆性骨折等并发症后才得以确诊,因此被冠以“寂静的疾病”之名。不仅影响了病患的生存质量,也增添了家庭及社会的经济支出压力。确保骨骼健壮是保障健康的重要环节,对骨质疏松症的防治也应该持续进行;尤其对于我国庞大的、骨密度尚未达标的人群,所谓防微杜渐,防病于先是更为紧要的。目前,临床常用的西医治疗方案存在着一定的用药风险;相比而言,中医药防治骨质疏松症具有多方面的优势,治疗方法相对安全、临床疗效显著优异、副作用较少等。依据中医“上工治未病”观念,近年来,单味药、中药复方、针灸等治疗方法逐渐成为医学研究的焦点。本文总结分析了近年来有关中医药防治骨质疏松症的相关文献并对中西医最新研究成果作简要综述,旨在为今后中医药对骨质疏松症的防治提供参考。
