中医药治疗良性甲状腺结节概况

Review on Benign Thyroid Nodules Treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine

中医药治疗良性甲状腺结节有内治和外治。内治即口服中药(汤剂、冲剂、膏剂),理论较为完善,应用广泛,疗效确切。外治包括中药外敷、针刺、耳穴、穴位注射、中药离子导入等。中药外敷多于夜间应用,不影响患者日常生活,减少服药痛苦,操作简单,具有较好疗效;针刺、耳穴和穴位注射疗法中医特色鲜明,目前应用较少,应予重视;中药离子导入针对局部用药,起效较快,但对中药煎煮、萃取制剂要求较高,还需中药离子导入仪,目前仅适合部分有条件的医院开展。

The Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules is internal and external treatment. The theory of internal treatment namely oral administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine（decoction, granule, paste） is perfect, the application is extensive, and the curative effect is exact. External treatment includs external application, acupuncture ,auricular acupuncture, acupoint injection, iontophoresis etc. The application of external application of Chinese Medicine with simple operation and good curative effect is usually used at night, so it does not affect the patient＇s daily life ,and reduces pain in patients with medication. Acupuncture ,auricular acupuncture and acupoint injection have distinct characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but its application is less at present. The function of iontophoresis is fixed and the effect is rapid, but the requirement of decoction and extraction is high, and it needs Traditional Chinese Medicine ion introduction instrument, so it is suitable for some of the conditions of the hospital to carry out.
