| Osteoporosis (osteoporosis, OP) is a metabolic bone disease with reduced bone mass, microscopic structural damage of the bone, increased brittleness of the bone and increased fracture risk. With the increase of OP incidence in recent years, the research on its prevention and treatment has become one of the hot topics in modern medicine. A large number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine can improve the bone mineral density of osteoporosis patients, improve their pain symptoms, and has a unique advantage in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. In this paper, through using CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and other Chinese literature retrieval system, we summarized research progress on bone measurements, cytokine changes, gene level and other aspects of osteoporosis treatment using traditional Chinese medicine (including single Traditional Chinese medicine, classical compound, Chinese medicine, etc.). The purpose of this study was to find out the existing problems in the treatment of osteoporosis and to give perspective to future research on osteoporosis treatment using TCM, in order to provide new ideas and inspirations for the medical workers and researchers who are engaged in osteoporosis research, so as to better guide the research and clinical work. |
