糖尿病的中医舌象特征研究进展

Research progress on characteristics of tongue picture in diabetes

糖尿病舌象特征的研究,不仅可以为糖尿病的中医诊断提供依据,而且便于大规模、准确地收集并保存临床资料,有效地分析、总结临床经验,确切地评价中医临床疗效。回顾近30年国内研究者运用多种方法对糖尿病患者的中医舌象特征进行研究的成果,主要集中在临床观察,而利用现代科学仪器对舌象的特征进行采集分析以及将舌象与实验室指标进行关联的客观化研究还为数不多。充分利用现代化仪器设备,使糖尿病中医舌象特征的采集更加规范化和标准化,将提高中医对糖尿病本质的认识,为糖尿病中医临床诊断和疗效评价提供客观依据。
