中西医结合治疗桥本甲状腺炎的研究进展

Research Progress on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Treatment of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

摘要: 目的：探讨中西医结合治疗桥本甲状腺炎的研究进展，分析其在免疫调节及临床应用中的效果与机制。方法：通过回顾文献，分析西医治疗桥本甲状腺炎的局限性，以及中医药在调节免疫、改善炎症方面的潜力，探讨中西医结合治疗的优势。结果：西医激素替代疗法能缓解症状，但对免疫系统调控有限，且长期使用可能引发副作用。中医药通过辨证论治和调节免疫功能，能够有效降低抗体水平，减轻甲状腺炎症，改善患者生活质量。结论：中西医结合治疗在免疫调节和减轻炎症方面效果显著，具有较高临床应用价值。未来应加强大规模临床试验和个性化治疗方案的研究，以进一步验证其有效性与安全性。

Abstract: Objective: This paper reviews the latest progress in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treating Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), focusing on its effects and mechanisms in immune regulation and clinical application. Methods: A literature review was conducted to analyze the limitations of Western medicine in treating HT and the potential of Chinese medicine in immune regulation and inflammation control, exploring the benefits of combined therapy. Results: While hormone replacement therapy relieves symptoms, its impact on immune regulation is limited, and long-term use may cause side effects. Chinese medicine, through syndrome differentiation and immune modulation, effectively reduces antibody levels, alleviates thyroid inflammation, and improves patients’ quality of life. Conclusion: Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine shows promising clinical efficacy, particularly in immune modulation and inflammation reduction. Future research should focus on large-scale clinical trials and personalized treatment plans to further confirm its effectiveness and safety.
