The efficacy of local injection of glucocorticoids into thyroid gland tissue using the ultrasound or application method of dimethylsulfoxide with hydrocortisone and novocain is determined. The independent treatment methods proved to be effective in subacute thyroiditis of a slight form. In medium and grave forms of the disease the methods described arc a mean of the choice in combination with prednizolone in a maximum daily dose from 15 to 20 mg. The local treatment methods proposed reduce the number of the disease relapses, treatment terms and allow to decrease a maximum daily dose of prednizolone by a factor of 1,52.
