中西医关于糖尿病皮肤瘙痒症的研究进展

Research Progress of Diabetes Pruritus in Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine

摘要: 糖尿病已成为世界性公共卫生问题，严重威胁人类的健康，患者血糖控制不佳可引起机体多个系统器官的损害，引发严重并发症，其中糖尿病皮肤瘙痒症就是糖尿病常见并发症之一，发病率较高。本病若不及时治疗，将会严重影响患者生活质量。中医及现代医学对此病的认识和治疗有其各自的见解，通过查阅相关文献得知：中医治疗此病存在优势，单纯的西医治疗副作用大易复发，二者结合临床效果显著，本文将对其研究进展做一综述，以供临床治疗参考。

Abstract: Diabetes has become a global public health crisis, posing significant threats to human health. Poor blood sugar control in patients can damage multiple bodily systems and organs, leading to severe complications. Diabetic pruritus, one of the most common diabetic complications with high incidence rates, significantly impacts patients’ quality of life if left untreated. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern medicine each offer distinct approaches to managing this condition. Literature reviews indicate that TCM demonstrates unique advantages in treatment, while Western medical interventions often suffer from significant side effects and high recurrence rates. The combination of both approaches shows remarkable clinical efficacy. This review summarizes recent research advancements to provide valuable references for clinical practice.
