中药外用治疗鞘膜积液临床研究进展

Clinical research on external use of Chinese materia medica for hydrocele of tunica vaginalis

查阅相关文献,从鞘膜积液的病因病机、中药外治法(外敷法、浸泡法、熏洗法、垫棉法)两方面对中药外用治疗鞘膜积液的临床研究进行概述。认为中药外用治疗鞘膜积液存在疗效标准不统一、随访时间不明确、样本量小、缺乏空白对照以及对交通型鞘膜积液的研究较为欠缺等不足,今后的研究应从这些方面进行完善,使中药外用治疗鞘膜积液的方法更加完善、适应证更加广泛。

By referring to relevant literature,this paper summarizes the clinical research on external use of Chinese materia medica(CMM)for hydrocele of tunica vaginalis from the two aspects of etiology and pathogenesis as well as external treatment of CMM(external application,soaking,external washing,cotton pad drainage).It holds that there are some deficiencies in the external use of CMM for of hydrocele of tunica vaginalis,such as inconsistent curative effect standards,unclear follow-up time,small sample size,lack of blank control,and lack of research on communicating hydrocele etc.Future research should be improved in these aspects,whereby the method of external use of CMM for hydrocele of tunica vaginalis being more perfect and indications being broader.
