For many years hypothyroid dysfunction has been treated with standard medical approaches yet some seek newer experimental conservative approaches. This paper describes the management of a new conservative approach to management in two individuals who sought treatment from a practitioner specialising in a new integrative mind-body based treatment. The purpose of this study is to present two case studies of the management of hypothyroid dysfunction using the mind-body neuro-emotional technique (NET).
The study was set in a private practice setting in Sydney, Australia. Two cases had been diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism by independent medical and laboratory based assessment, of which conservative management had not resolved the symptoms. Both cases underwent a schedule of NET as a modality to treat their hypothyroidism.
Objective measures such as thyroid stimulating hormone and T(4) levels were reported, along with more subjective measures such as feelings of tiredness and general well being. In both cases, there were improvements in TSH and T(4) levels, both returning to normal levels.
Thyroid dysfunction has been effectively treated by conventional medicine for many years. Changes in thyroid dysfunction after a course of NET have been described. As the standard medical model is associated with some adverse effects such as long-term medication use and potential side effects, all natural, non-invasive approaches to management should be reviewed. Further research into this mind-body therapy is recommended to evaluate its potential effectiveness for this common condition.
多年来，甲状腺功能减退症一直采用标准医学方法治疗，但仍有一些人寻求更新的实验性保守治疗方法。本文描述了两位患者采用一种新的保守治疗方法的治疗过程，这两位患者向一位专门从事基于身心整合治疗的医生寻求治疗。本研究的目的是呈现两个使用身心神经情感技术（NET）治疗甲状腺功能减退症的案例。
该研究在澳大利亚悉尼的一家私人诊所进行。通过独立的医学和实验室评估，两位患者被诊断为原发性甲状腺功能减退症，保守治疗未能缓解症状。两位患者都接受了一系列NET治疗，作为治疗甲状腺功能减退症的一种方式。
报告了诸如促甲状腺激素和T4水平等客观指标，以及诸如疲劳感和总体健康状况等更主观的指标。在这两个案例中，促甲状腺激素和T4水平都有所改善，均恢复到正常水平。
多年来，传统医学已有效治疗甲状腺功能障碍。本文描述了NET治疗过程后甲状腺功能障碍的变化。由于标准医学模式存在一些不良反应，如长期用药和潜在的副作用，应重新审视所有自然、非侵入性的治疗方法。建议对这种身心疗法进行进一步研究，以评估其对这种常见病症的潜在疗效。
