益气温经方联合新编五禽戏对绝经后骨量减低患者的临床疗效观察.

postmenopausal osteopenia patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group，with 60 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with sun bath and diet intervention. On the basis of the control group，patients in the control group were treated with the classic formula，tonifying Qi and warming meridian，combined with modified 5-bird exercise. The observation period lasted for 12 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae and the SF-36 quality of life score (SF-36) were examined before and 6 and 12 months after the treatment in both groups. The incidence of osteoporosis was analyzed after the treatment. Results 1) BMD of the lumbar vertebrae: there was no significant difference between the two groups before the treatment(P > 0. 05) . After the treatment，it increased gradually in the treatment group，but decreased in the control group. There was significant difference in BMD of the lumbar vertebrae between the two groups at 6 months and 12months (P < 0. 05) . There was significant difference in BMD of the lumbar vertebrae within the treatment groups after the treatment (P < 0. 05) . (2) The Incidence of osteoporosis: After12 months，5 patients (10. 0%) in the treatment group and 13 patients (25. 0%) in the control group were diagnosed with osteoporosis，and there was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0. 05) . (3) SF-36 quality of life score: there was no significant difference in the result of SF-36 between the two groups before the treatment(P > 0. 05) . After 12 months，SF-36 score in the treatment group was obvious higher than that in the control group，and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The combined therapy of tonifying Qi and warming meridian formula and modified 5-bird exercise effectively improves the quality of life in patients with postmenopausal bone loss，increases BMD，and reduces the incidence of osteoporosis，which is worthy of clinical reference and application.
