1. The treatment of hyperthyroidism with traditional Chinese medicine has a permanent treatment history, and the treatment based on syndrome differentiation and individualization has little toxic and side effects.

2. There are many methods of treating hyperthyroidism in TCM. The commonly used clinical methods are: TCM syndrome differentiation treatment, acupuncture treatment, catgut embedding at acupoint, pressing beans at auricular point, plum blossom needle therapy, massage, moxibustion therapy and acupoint application.

3. The overall adjustment of traditional Chinese medicine treatment can reduce the toxic and side effects of western medicine treatment, which plays an irreplaceable role in regulating human endocrine, regulating organism immunity, eliminating antibodies and constitution, and stabilizing pituitary-thyroid axis. It is helpful to change the overall state of the body from the "root" and eliminate the factors of the sustainable development and recurrence of hyperthyroidism. The clinical treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine has achieved good results.

Shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine treatment

1. Because hyperthyroidism needs long-term drug control, the treatment cycle is long, the curative effect is slow, and the patient's compliance is poor, the influence of traditional Chinese medicine on the long-term recurrence of the disease is unknown, and it is still necessary to extend the clinical follow-up time for in-depth discussion and analysis.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is mostly limited to clinical prescriptions and drugs. There are many kinds of Chinese patent medicines on the market, but there is no uniform application standard.

3. There is still a lack of unified classification standards and effective prescriptions for TCM treatment. The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine will become a new situation in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, and there is still a great breakthrough space for research.

4. The quality of clinical research is limited, and there is still a lack of high-quality randomized controlled clinical research in the field of treating thyroid diseases with traditional Chinese medicine. The prescription that does have curative effect has not been verified by evidence-based medicine.
