Abstract

Introduction: Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrinology condition that could affect several aspects of the patient's life.

Case presentation: We present a 27-year-old woman who was sent to the traditional Persian medicine (TPM) clinic with a diagnosis of uncontrolled chronic hyperthyroidism (lower levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and higher levels of T3 and T4) and its complications, such as developing exophthalmos, palpitations, anxiety, sleep problems, hair loss, and dry skin. The patient was under treatment with prednisolone and methimazole for up to 1 year, but no acceptable improvement was achieved. The patient received a package of TPM recommendations, which included lifestyle modification, Melissa officinalis herbal tea, and Persian barley water. The patient was followed for 1 year. After 2 months of follow-up of the patient, the level of TSH increased, and the level of T3 and T4 decreased. In addition, the patient's symptoms, including exophthalmos, palpitation, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and dryness of the skin, were improved considerably. After 3 months of consumption of the TPM-based regime and prescription, the serum levels of TSH, T3, and T4, of the patient were in normal ranges. In a 1-year follow-up of the patient, the patient's condition was stable and her thyroid function tests were normal. We hereby present the following case to be in line with the CAse REports (CARE) checklist.

Conclusion: It appears that TPM lifestyle recommendations, M. officinalis herbal tea, and Persian barley water were effective in treating the patient with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. We recommend further studies and clinical trial designs in this regard.

用传统波斯医学建议成功维持治疗一名抗药性甲状腺功能亢进症患者:病例报告和文献综述。
简介甲状腺功能亢进症是一种常见的内分泌疾病,可能会影响患者生活的多个方面:我们为您介绍一位 27 岁的女性患者,她被送往传统波斯医学(TPM)诊所就诊,被诊断为不受控制的慢性甲状腺功能亢进症(促甲状腺激素(TSH)水平较低,T3 和 T4 水平较高)及其并发症,如眼球外翻、心悸、焦虑、睡眠问题、脱发和皮肤干燥。患者接受了长达一年的泼尼松龙和甲巯咪唑治疗,但病情没有得到可接受的改善。患者接受了一整套 TPM 建议,包括改变生活方式、香蜂草凉茶和波斯大麦水。对患者进行了为期一年的随访。随访两个月后,患者的促甲状腺激素水平上升,T3 和 T4 水平下降。此外,患者的眼球外翻、心悸、焦虑、睡眠障碍和皮肤干燥等症状也得到了明显改善。在服用基于 TPM 的疗法和处方三个月后,患者血清中的促甲状腺激素、T3 和 T4 水平均处于正常范围。在对患者一年的随访中,患者病情稳定,甲状腺功能检测正常。我们在此提出以下病例,以符合CAse REports(CARE)检查表的要求:结论:看来,TPM生活方式建议、香蜂草凉茶和波斯大麦水对治疗该名不受控制的甲状腺功能亢进症患者很有效。我们建议在这方面开展进一步的研究和临床试验设计。
