Term Effect and Long-Term Recurrence Rate of Hyperthyroidism Treated by Traditional Chinese Combined with Western Medicine

Objective: To study the clinical curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) on treating hyperthyroidism. Methods: 102 patients were conformed to the standard and were randomly divided into two groups. The control group had 50 cases and used the sulfhydryl imidazole therapy. The observation group had 52 cases and added TCM treatment on the basis of control group's treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Liver depression and qi stagnation syndrome was treated with modified Chaihu Shugan powder. Yin fire excess and phlegm and stasis accumulation syndrome was treated with Zhibai Dihuang Pill and Xiaoluo Pill. Results: The clinical cure rates of observation group and control group were 42. 31% and 24. 00%,respectively. The total effective rates were 84. 62% and 76. 00%,respectively. The total incidence of adverse reactions rates were 7. 69% and 16. 00%,respectively. Comparison between groups had statistical significance(P 0. 05). After 1 month treatment,the total score of observation group was lower than that of the control group,but there was no statistically significant difference(P 0. 05). After 3 months treatment,comparsion between groups had statistical significance(P 0. 05). Two groups after treatment,TT3,TT4,FT3,FT4 and TRAb were lower,TSH was higher,comparison between two groups had statistical significance(P 0. 05). The recurrence rate of observation group was 45. 45%,and that of control group was 66. 67%. Conclusion: Sulfhydryl imidazole combined with traditional Chinese medicine can effectively treat hyperthyroidism and improve the clinical symptoms and thyroid function, reduce the incidence of adverse drug reactions,and reduce recurrence.
