[Comparison of Chinese traditional therapy combined with Western medicine and Western medicine alone in the treatment of uveitis]
Abstract
Seventy nine eyes of 46 patients with uveitis were treated with two therapeutic methods. One was mainly Chinese traditional dialectic therapy combined with western medicine. The other was western medica treatment using mainly corticosteroid. The group treated with combined methods (37 eyes of 22 cases) showed an effective rate of 91.8%. The group treated only with western medicine (42 eyes of 24 cases) showed a 66.6% < effective rate. In a follow-up period of six months to one year. The disease relapsed in 13 eyes out of the 33 eyes in the combined method group with recurrent rate of 39.4%. The recurrent rate of the western medical treatment was 86.4% (19 eyes out of the 22 eyes). It shows the Chinese traditional dialectic therapy combined with eastern medicine is better than the solely western medical treatment.
