Overview

Systematic review compares bone mineral density improvement in patients with osteoporosis receiving Chinese herbal medicine versus conventional therapy, indicating promising effects.

Key Points

  • Chinese herbal medicine shows significant improvements in bone mineral density at key skeletal sites in osteoporosis patients.
  • Meta-analysis included 18 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1,816 patients, revealing meaningful statistical outcomes.
  • Weighted mean differences indicated notable gains in lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD with Chinese herbal medicine compared to conventional methods.
  • Findings suggest further trials are needed due to moderate quality and high variability across included studies.
