Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of Bushen Huoxue Formula combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) directional drug permeation on postoperative pain in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures undergoing percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP).
Methods A total of 60 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, with 30 cases in each group. All patients received PKP and routine nursing care. The control group only received TCM directional drug permeation therapy, while the treatment group additionally received oral Bushen Huoxue Formula. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores of the two groups were compared.
Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was 86.67%(26/30), which was higher than that in the control group (63.33%, 19/30), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.037). After treatment, the VAS scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment, and the VAS score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). After treatment, there were statistically significant differences in the ODI scores between the two groups and before treatment (P < 0.05). After treatment, the ODI score inthe treatment group was better than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).
Conclusion For patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, combining Bushen Huoxue Formula with TCM directional drug permeation therapy after PKP can significantly relieve postoperative pain and has clinical promotion value.
