Abstract
The pathogenesis of orthopedic diseases is intimately linked to blood stasis, frequently arising from damage to primary and secondary blood channels. This disruption can lead to “blood leaving the meridians” or Qi stagnation, resulting in blood stasis syndrome. Taohong Siwu Decoction (THSWD) is a renowned classical Chinese medicinal formula extensively used to promote blood circulation and mitigate blood stasis. Clinical studies have demonstrated its significant therapeutic effects on various orthopedic conditions, particularly its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, as well as its efficacy in preventing deep vein thrombosis post-surgery. Despite these findings, research on THSWD remains fragmented, and its interdisciplinary impact is limited. This review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy and pharmacological mechanisms of THSWD in treating common orthopedic diseases. Additionally, we employ bibliometric analysis to explore research trends and hotspots related to THSWD. We hope this review will enhance the recognition and application of THSWD in orthopedic treatments and guide future research into its pharmacological mechanisms.
