Effects of acupuncture in the treatment of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism

Abstract

Acupuncture can help regulate the immune system, bringing the immune response back into balance. The paper presents acupuncture treatment methods and drug treatment and compares the effectiveness and impact of these therapies in the treatment of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism in patients. The treated patients were divided into five groups, and then an analysis was made of the patient data, which treatment gave better results, which gender and which age group was more prevalent, which age group and gender showed better results, which drugs were used, which acupuncture points were used, duration of treatments, duration of the disease, differentiation of symptoms, presence of Hashimoto's syndrome, presence of strumanodosis and other parameters. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that acupuncture treatment is more effective and more commonly used in the treatment of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Acupuncture treatments work faster and are more effective at normalizing thyroid hormone levels. Just as Louis Pasteur said, "Science knows no borders, because knowledge belongs to mankind and is the torch that illuminates the world." The same is true for TCM. It is not only a knowledge system, but also a great way of thinking. Serve humanity and modern medical science more effectively. I strongly hope that in the near future, more young doctors and scientists will correctly master TCM knowledge, develop new ways of thinking in medical research, and demonstrate better clinical results.
