Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture stimulation on bone mineral density(BMD) of postmenopausal patients with osteoporotic distal radius fractures. Methods Fifty postmenopausal patients with osteoporotic distal radius fractures were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group received electroacupuncture treatment + rehabilitation training. The frequency of electroacupuncture was 2 Hz, lasting for 30 minutes, 3 times/week, lasting for 6 weeks. There were 18 treatments in total. The rehabilitation training was performed 3 times/week, lasting for 45minutes/timeand for 6 weeks. The control group only received rehabilitation training 3 times/week, lasting for 30 minutes/time and for 6 weeks. The evaluation was made at 3 time points, i.e. before treatment, after 6 weeks of treatment, and 6 weeks of follow-up after treatment(i.e. the 12th week). The outcome indicators included: visual analog scale of pain (VAS) score, bone mineral density value, and fracture healing. Results A total of 7 patients fell off, and finally 43 patients completed the experiment (experimental group, n=21; control group, n=22). After treatment and during follow-up, the VAS scores of the two groups were lower than before. Although there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05), the change value of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. The BMD value of the experimental group increased after 6 weeks of treatment and at the 12th week of follow-up compared with that before treatment, but the BMD value at the time of follow-up showed a downward trend compared with that after 6 weeks of treatment. The BMD value of the control group showed a downward trend after treatment and during follow-up, and the difference between the groups was significant (P<0.05). At the time of follow-up (the 12th week), no cases of nonunion were found in both groups. There was a significant difference between the total number of cases of fracture healing after 6 weeks and 10 weeks of treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion The effect of electroacupuncture on bone mineral density in postmenopausal patients with osteoporotic distal radius fracture is clear, but the effect is difficult to maintain for a long time, and has no effect on the change of T value range and the disease characterization. Influence on fracture healing this treatment can accelerate fracture healing.
