壯骨一號對停經後骨質疏鬆症療效之研究

骨質疏鬆症及相關骨折是老年人常見的健康問題。台灣地區人口結構老化,此等骨折及其併發症將造成醫療資源之一大消耗。傳統中醫理論認為「腎主骨」, 年老腎衰與骨質之衰減應有密切關係,但此等相關性從未經過臨床之測量, 近年來雖有報告顯示補腎方藥? 黻忝餖P症有所幫助, 但尚無客觀之評估。
本項研究以DEXA (dualenergy x-ray absorptiometry)篩選骨密度低於閾質且其骨密度屬骨質疏鬆二級以上之停經後婦女,進行中醫辨症,並與骨密度正常之停經後婦女, 比較各項中醫辨証指標之異同。同時並將骨質疏鬆症之婦女隨機分組,分別給予補腎藥壯骨一號及雌激素作為對照,以評估其療效。
