中医药治疗急性结膜炎研究进展

Research Progress in the Treatment of Acute Conjunctivitis with Traditional Chinese Medicine

急性结膜炎是常见的眼部感染性疾病,由细菌、病毒等引起,发病率较高。西医治疗方法主要依赖抗生素和抗病毒等药物治疗,但长期使用可能导致耐药性问题。因此,寻找新的防治方法具有重要意义。中医药在防治急性结膜炎方面具有独特优势,目前临床上常用的中医防治方法主要有中药方剂、针灸等传统疗法,以及中药复方滴眼液、中药超声雾化等中西医结合疗法。其中最常用的方法是中药方剂及针灸疗法。中药方剂如黄连汤、鲜竹茹散、银翘散和麦冬汤等,具有清热解毒、消肿止痛、润燥生津等作用,能够减轻急性结膜炎的症状并促进康复。针刺疗法通过调节气血运行、增强免疫力、改善眼部循环等,可以缓解眼红、眼痛、畏光等症状,促进炎症的消退。本研究通过综述中医药治疗急性结膜炎的研究进展,以期为中医药辅助治疗急性结膜炎提供参考。
