Objective: to observe the promotive effect of Chinese medicine for reinforcing kidney and activating blood on patients of post PVP. Methods: 94 patients with osteoporosis-induced compression fracture of vertebral body,after standard PVP,were divided,according to whether they took medicine,into two groups,group A( treatment group taking orally the medicine and calcium) and group B( control group taking calcium). Visual analogue scale( VAS) and bone density were used to evaluate the pain improvement and sclerotin changes respectively 3,6 and 12 months after operation. Results: All the patients were operated on smoothly and the pains were quickly relieved. All the tested indexes were improved significantly( P 0. 05). Comparisons between groups showed that there was on significant difference about VAS and bone density 3 months after operation( P 0. 05),but there were significant difference about VAS and ODI 6 and 12 months after operation( P 0. 05). Conclusion: PVP is an effective way in curing osteoporosis-induced compression fracture of vertebral body and meanwhile Chinese medicine for reinforcing kidney and activating blood can relieve pain and improve the sclerotin.
