The effect of Jintiange capsules on pain in patients with primary osteoporosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Background: To evaluate the effectiveness of Jintiange capsules (JTG) in relieving pain in patients with primary osteoporosis (POP).
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted through seven databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database and SinoMed, from inception to October 2023. The control group was given conventional anti-osteoporosis drug therapy such as Alfacalcidol soft capsules, Alendronate sodium tablets, Caltrate D3, etc. The experimental group was treated with JTG alone or in combination with JTG on the basis of the drugs used in the control group. The primary outcome measure was the visual analog scale (VAS). Stata SE-64 software was used to conduct meta-analyses of the final included studies.
Results: A total of 2916 participants were included in 21 articles. The results of meta-analysis showed that JTG relieved pain (WMD: -2.51; 95% CI: -3.30, -1.71; p < 0.05), improved the bone mineral density (BMD) of femoral neck (WMD: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.33, 1.33; p < 0.05) and lumbar (WMD: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.67, 1.62; p < 0.05), improved oswestry disability index (ODI) (WMD: -1.79; 95% CI: -3.05, -0.54; p < 0.05), enhanced timed up and go test (TUG) (WMD: -2.61; 95% CI: -4.60, -0.62; p < 0.05) and decreased fracture incidence (WMD: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.15, 0.93; p < 0.05).
Conclusion: In terms of relieving pain, improving BMD, improving activity function, and improving gait and…
