ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effects of methimazole combined with acupoint application on hormone levels and bone metabolism indexes of patients with hyperthyroidism.METHODS:
150 hyperthyroidism patients were randomly divided into group A(50 cases),group B(50 cases)and group C(50 cases). Based on routine treatment,group A was given Methimazole tab-lets orally,with initial dose of 20-40 mg,1-2 times a day;2-6 weeks later,reducing and maintaining at 2.5-10 mg if the disease condition was improved;maintaining 20-40 mg if no improvement. Group B was acupoint application,one piece,pasting on Zu-sanli,Sanyinjiao,Shenmen,Taichong,Neiguan points 1 h after breakfast. Group C received Methimazole tablets(same usage and dosage as group A)+acupoint application(same usage and dosage as group B). Treatment courses of 3 groups lasted for 2 months. The levels of TSH,FT3,FT4,T3,T4,T,E2,LH,FSH,CT,BGP and PTH were observed in 3 groups before and after treat-ment,and the occurrence of ADR was also observed.RESULTS:
Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the lev-els of above indexes among 3 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of TSH and PTH in 3 groups were significantly higher than before,and the group C was significantly higher than the group A and B. The levels of FT3,FT4,T3,T4,T,E2,LH, FSH,CT and BGP in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and the group C was significantly lower than the group A and B;there was statistical significance (P0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR among 3 groups (P>0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
Based on rou-tine treatment,methimazole combined with acupoint application can significantly improve the thyroid function,correct the disorder of sex hormones and abnormal bone metabolism in hyperthyroidism patient,without increasing the incidence of ADR.
