【Summary】
The case to be reported here involved a 95 year-old healthy female who was visited our traditional Chinese medicine clinic on January 5, 2018. She presented to the clinic complaining of low back pain, VAS = 10, about one week earlier. And NSAID was ineffective for her low back pain. The image result showed that there were fragility fracture of multiple vertebral bodies. The concept of traditional chinese medicine of the patient’s symptom is “Dampness-heat Impeding” and this treatment is adjusting the meridian system through “Clear Heat, Drain Dampness” formula. After receiving traditional Chinese mendition treatment, the follow-up result of the Patient revealed that the VAS=2. The acute fragility fractures may cause severe pain. Thus, some medical therapies for treating these pain were proposed, such as NSAID. Through the positive report in this case, we suggest traditional Chinese medicine may be a safer, simpler, cheaper and more effective treatment for severe pain for acue fragility fractue.
