Evaluation of the Clinical Effect of Modified Dipsacus Decoction in the Treatment of Osteoporotic Fractures

Abstract

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of modified and subtracted Dipsacus Decoction in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures (OPF). Methods: 60 OPF cases were divided into two groups based on the double-blind method. Both groups underwent fracture reduction under X-ray guidance and took calcitriol soft capsules simultaneously, while Dipsacus Decoction was added to the observation group. The clinical treatment effectiveness, fracture healing time, bone density, laboratory indicators, and incidence of adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. Results: The total effective rate of clinical treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, the fracture healing time was shorter than that of the control group, and the bone density and laboratory indicators after treatment were better than those of the control group (P < 0.05). There were no severe adverse reactions in either group. Conclusion: The addition and subtraction of Dipsacus Decoction based on conventional Western medicine treatment for OPF can further improve the effectiveness of clinical treatment and speed up fracture healing, which is worthy of promotion.
