Objective. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of nonpharmacological interventions in improving balance function patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia using network meta-analysis (NMA). Methods. We searched seven databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CKNI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and CBM) for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to August 31, 2020. Berg Balance Scale (BBS) Time Up Go Test (TUGT) were used as outcome measures. Two researchers independently screened studies,...
To compare the therapeutic effect of thunder-fire moxibustion combined with vibration training and simple on low back pain primary osteoporosis by Young's modulus ultrasonic wave, seek an objective evaluating method.A total 60 patients were randomized into observation group a control group, 30 cases in each one. The two groups treated using whole body treatment bed. In was applied at Yaoyangguan (GV 3), Mingmen 4), Ganshu (BL 18), Shenshu 23) Dachangshu 25). given once every other day, 3...
To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on motor function and muscle state in patients with primary osteoporosis (POP).A total 60 female POP were randomized into an observation group (30 cases, 1 case dropped off) a control off). On basis adjusting lifestyle, caltrate was given orally group, 2 pills day for 4 weeks. treatment applied at Zusanli (ST 36), Yanglingquan (GB 34), Ganshu (BL 18), Pishu 20), Shenshu 23), etc. disperse-dense wave Hz/10 Hz frequency, once every other day, 3 times...
To observe the effect of moxibustion "Ganshu" (BL18)and "Shenshu" (BL23) on bone mineral density (BMD), biomechanics, metabolism and musculoskeletal morphology osteoporosis (OP) rats, so as to explore its mechanism underlying treatment OP via bone-muscle interaction.Thirty-two female SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, medication (nilestriol) groups, with 8 in each group. For operation group, a small amount fat around ovaries was removed, those other 3 groups received...
To observe the effects of thunder-fire moxibustion on visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Young's modulus multifidus and 6 m walking speed in patients osteoporosis with low skeletal muscle mass.Sixty mass were randomly divided into a medication group (30 cases) medication+thunder-fire cases). In group, caltrate was prescribed for oral administration, 2 tablets/day (600 mg/tablet), 4 weeks. base administration caltrate, exerted at Mingmen (GV4), Yaoyangguan(GV3), bilateral Shenshu (BL23),...
