Jianji Decoction

Jianji Decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal formulation developed by Shijiazhuang TCM Hospital. It is primarily investigated for the treatment of sarcopenia in elderly patients, particularly those suffering from osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) who are undergoing percutaneous vertebral augmentation. The decoction is typically administered orally in combination with resistance training to enhance skeletal muscle mass, improve physical function, and modulate bone metabolism. In the context of TCM, the formulation is likely designed to address deficiencies associated with aging, muscle wasting, and bone loss. Clinical evaluation focuses on its ability to improve pain scores, CT imaging parameters, and overall disability in the target population.
