Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this paper was to aid Korean clinical practices for determining clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism and to identify further relevant studies by summarizing the present domestic clinical studies. Methods: The research consisted of a review of articles up to July, 2018 found by searching 'Hypothyroidism' and 'Hashimoto's thyroiditis' as keywords in five domestic electronic databases. Results: Only nine studies satisfied the selection criteria and were analyzed. These included six case reports, two controlled clinical trials, and one randomized controlled trial. Of these, Anjeonleejoong-tang was the most frequent herbal medicine used to treat hypothyroidism. Conclusions: Systematic and large-scale research studies are needed to standardize the guidelines for traditional Korean treatment of hypothyroidism.
