title: [Application of Jintian'ge capsule in treatment of vertebral compression fracture in senile osteoporosis patients].
abstract: To study the clinical application of Jintian'ge capsule in treatment of vertebral compression fracture in senile osteoporosis patients. In the study, 69 senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients hospitalized in our hospital between January 2012 and June 2014 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group. Patients in the control group were treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), while those in the treatment group were given Jintian'ge capsule in addition to PKP. Efforts were made to visit the patients before the surgery and in three month after that, observe and compared the vertebral height, Cobb's angle, bone density, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index between patients in the two groups. According to the findings, compared with before the treatment, patients in the two groups showed significant improvements in the vertebral height, Cobb's angle, bone density, VAS and Oswestry disability index three months after the surgery (P < 0.05); During the visit three months after the treatment, compared with the control group, the treatment group showed notable increases in all parameters (P < 0.05), particularly in the vertebral height, VAS and Oswestry disability index (P < 0.05). Based on the above findings, Jintian'ge capsule is applicable in adjuvant therapy after the osteoporotic vertebral compression facture PKP surgery.
