[ Clinical observation on acupuncture for treatment of male osteoporosis ] . OBJECTIVE To compare the therapeutic effects of acupuncture combined with drug and simple drug for treatment of male osteoporosis . METHODS Fifty-five cases were divided into an observation group ( 25 cases ) and a control group ( 30 cases ) randomly . The observation group was treated with acupuncture and moxibustion at Pishu ( BL 20 ) , Shenshu ( BL 23 ) , Mingmen ( GV 4 ) , Shenque ( CV 8 ) and so on combined with taking Alendronate , while the control group was treated with taking Alendronate simply . The improvement of both Integral of Clinical Symptoms ( ICS ) and Bone Mineral Density ( BMD ) of two groups was observed after 6 months treatment . RESULTS The ICS of two groups after treatment both decreased significantly ( both P < 0.001 ) , and the decreasing degree in observation group was more significant than that in control group ( P < 0.001 ) . The BMD of lumbar vertebrae and femur in observation group increased obviously than that before treatment ( P < 0.01 , P < 0.05 ) . The increasing degree of BMD of lumbar vertebrae in observation group after treatment was more obvious than that in control group ( P < 0.05 ) . There were abdominal pain , diarrhea , nausea , vomiting , dyspepsia and other adverse reaction in control group , while the degree and occurrence rate of those in observation group alleviated and decreased obviously . CONCLUSION The effect of acupuncture combined with drug for treatment of male osteoporosis is good with little adverse reaction . This method is better than taking Alendronate .
