ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of modified Shenling Baizhu San combined with thyroxine tablets in the treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). Method:The 68 patients with HT were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 34 patients in each group. Control group was treated with thyroxine tablets alone, while treatment group was treated with modified Shenling Baizhu San in addition to the therapy of control group. Free triiodothyronine (FT3), free Thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), serum thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin were observed before and after treatment in the two groups of HT patients. The changes of thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, and the safety of TCM prescription were observed. Result:After 3 months of treatment, the effective rate of treatment group was 91.2%, which was significantly higher than 70.6% of control group, with statistically significant difference (PPP3 and FT4 in treatment group and control group increased significantly after 3 months of treatment (PPPPConclusion:Modified Shenling Baizhu San combined with thyroxine tablets in the treatment of HT is more effective than simple thyroxine tablets, which is worthy of further clinical and experimental study.
