針刺治療氣郁痰阻型結(jié)節(jié)性甲狀腺腫的臨床研究針刺治療氣郁痰阻型結(jié)節(jié)性甲狀腺腫的臨床研究

摘要

目的：探討針刺治療氣郁痰阻型結(jié)節(jié)性甲狀腺腫的療效和安全性，為臨床治療提供參考。

方法：選取2018年1月至2021年1月在本院治療的60例氣郁痰阻型結(jié)節(jié)性甲狀腺腫患者作為研究對象，隨機分為治療組和對照組，治療組接受針刺治療，對照組接受常規(guī)藥物治療，比較兩組患者治療前后甲狀腺結(jié)節(jié)大小、功能及臨床癥狀改變情況，評估針刺治療的療效。

結(jié)果：治療組總有效率為96.7%，對照組總有效率為80.0%。治療組甲狀腺結(jié)節(jié)大小及功能指標改善優(yōu)于對照組（P<0.05）。治療組臨床癥狀積分更低，癥狀改善程度明顯（P<0.01）。治療組無明顯不良反應(yīng)，對照組出現(xiàn)頭暈、胃腸道反應(yīng)等不良反應(yīng)。

結(jié)論：針刺治療氣郁痰阻型結(jié)節(jié)性甲狀腺腫具有一定的療效和安全性，可作為臨床治療的重要手段。
