A clinical study on the efficacy of a novel herbal medicine cocktail in enhancing HIFU treatment for adenomyosis: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
A combined herbal and ultrasound approach reduced pain scores in adenomyosis patients, suggesting complementary treatment may help.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy and potential mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) combined with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of adenomyosis, providing evidence-ba... RESULTS: The results showed that the VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment (p < 0.05).
