摘要
目的
观察灸药结合治疗桥本氏甲状腺炎的临床疗效。
方法
符合纳入标准的85 例桥本氏甲状腺炎患者, 随机分为2 组, 观察组42 例, 予艾灸配合口服左甲状腺素钠片治疗; 对照组43 例, 予单纯口服左甲状腺素钠片治疗。 比较治疗前后两组患者临床症状计分、 眼征计分的变化情况, 并记录、 比较两组患者症状改善所需时间。
结果
治疗1 个月后, 观察组临床症状计分及眼征计分的改善情况均优于对照组(P<0.05); 观察组患者症状改善所需时间也少于对照组。
结论
艾灸配合口服左甲状腺素钠片治疗桥本氏甲状腺炎起效迅速、 疗效可靠。
Abstract
Objective
To observe the clinical effect of combined moxibustion and medication for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Methods
A total of 85 cases with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group. Forty-two cases in the observation group were treated with combined moxibustion with oral Levothyroxine Sodium tablets, whereas 43 cases in the control group were treated with oral Levothyroxine Sodium tablets alone. Then the scores of clinical symptoms and exophthalmos before and after treatment were compared. In addition, the time period for improvement of clinical symptoms in both groups were recorded and compared.
Results
After one-month treatment, the scores of clinical symptoms and exophthalmos in the observation group were significantly improved than those in the control group (P<0.05); and it took less time for the cases in the observation group to get improvement compared with the control group.
Conclusion
Combined moxibustion and oral Levothyroxine Sodium tablet is an efficient reliable therapy for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
