Not much improvement: 3

Swelling completely disappeared:  in 59 of the original 77 patients with swollen thyroid. The swelling obviously went down in 10.

Exophthalmos (Eyes protruding) completely gone: in 40 of the original 54 patients with exophthalmos.  The condition was obviously improved in 10.

This therapy is effective for hyperthyroidism. The majority of the patients improved after 3 ~ 6 days.
