ObjectiveTo discuss the effectiveness of osteoporosis therapy apparatus combined with calcium carbonate D3 tablets (Caltrate D) for the treatment of senile osteoporosis. MethodFrom March 2013 to March 2014, 110 patients with senile osteoporosis were selected and randomly divided into study group (n=63) and control group (n=47). Patients in the study group were given 600 mg calcium carbonate D3 tablet combined with osteoporosis therapy apparatus treatment for 30 minutes per day. Meanwhile, patients in the control group were given 600 mg calcium carbonate D3 tablet every day. The treatment course of both groups of patients lasted for 6 months. The change of bone pain and bone mineral density (BMD) were compared and analyzed after the treatment. ResultsThe effective rate of pain relieving in the study group and control group was 92.07% and 85.11%, respectively after 6 months; the difference was not significant (χ2=1.341, P=0.247). BMD was improved in both groups, but BMD increased more in the study group[(0.327±0.107)g/cm2] than in the control group[(0.237±0.115)g/cm2] with statistical significance (P<0. 05). ConclusionsOsteoporosis therapy apparatus combined with calcium carbonate D3 is an effective method for the treatment of senile osteoporosis.
