Effect of Red Light Assisted Prednisone Acetate in the Treatment of Subacute Thyroiditis
Objective:To investigate the effect of red light combined with hormone in the treatment of subacute thyroiditis(SAT).Methods:A total of 62 SAT patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital from February 2020 to May 2023 were selected for comparative study.They were divided into combined group and control group by random number table method,with 31 patients in each group.The control group was treated with prednisone acetate orally,and the combined group was treated with red light on the basis of the control group.The disappearance time of symptoms,serum thyroid function indexes(TSH,FT3,FT4),inflammatory indexes(ESR,CRP,IL-6),cumulative amount of prednisone acetate,adverse reaction rate and follow-up recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment,the disappearance time of neck pain,fever and goiter in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).FT3 and FT4 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and TSH was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).ESR,CRP and IL-6 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The cumulative dosage of prednisone acetate and the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Red light combined with prednisone acetate is effective in the treatment of AST,which can effectively improve the clinical symptoms,shorten the remission time,reduce the dosage of prednisone and the incidence of adverse reactions.
