Abstract：Objective To analyze the effect of Shugan Jieyu Huatan Tang on the recovery of thyroid function and re-currence rate in patients with benign thyroid nodules after thermal ablation surgery.Methods 68 patients with benign thyroid nodules(visiting from February 2021 to February 2022)were selected and divided into groups using the random number table method,with 34 patients in each group.The control group underwent simple thermal ablation of benign thyroid nodules,while the observation group took Shugan Jieyu Huatan Tang after thermal ablation.The clinical efficacy,traditional Chinese med-icine syndrome scores,thyroid function indicators,and one-year disease recurrence were compared between the two groups.Results After 3 months of postoperative evaluation,the total effective rates of the observation group and the control group were 82.35%and 70.59%,with no significant difference between the groups(χ2=1.308,P=0.253).After 3 months of surgery,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores(main and secondary symptom scores)of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group;free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine were significantly lower than those of the control group,and thyroid stimulating hormone was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).After one year of fol-low-up,the recurrence rate of nodules in the observation group was 2.94%,which was significantly lower than that of the control group's 23.53%(χ2=4.610,P=0.032).Conclusion Taking Shugan Jieyu Huatan Tang after thermal ablation of benign thyroid nodules can alleviate clinical symptoms,promote thyroid function recovery,and has outstanding value in reducing the risk of nodule recurrence,which is worth promoting.
