Hypothyroidism

This study tests whether a pharmacist-led education program can help women with hypothyroidism and low vitamin D levels improve their vitamin D levels and medication habits. Sixty women will be split into two groups: one receives standard care, the other gets counseling, brochure…

This trial tests whether a higher starting dose of levothyroxine, a thyroid hormone replacement, helps newborns with congenital hypothyroidism reach normal thyroid function faster than a moderate dose. About 100 full-term infants diagnosed at birth are randomly assigned to one of…

This study tests whether a simple foot exercise called the soleus pushup can improve cholesterol, blood sugar, and hormone levels in people with thyroid problems, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Participants will perform the exercise, and researchers will measure changes in blo…

This study tested a patient decision aid—a short video—to help adults with hypothyroidism who were not getting enough thyroid hormone. The video explains the condition, the role of thyroxine, and factors that affect absorption. Researchers randomly assigned 236 patients to watch …

This study tested a new hormone replacement therapy called North Star against the standard drug levothyroxine in 303 adults with hypothyroidism. The goal was to find the right dose of North Star to keep thyroid hormone levels normal. Participants were already stable on levothyrox…

This study looked at 88 women newly diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) to see if taking levothyroxine to normalize thyroid hormones also improves metabolic health. Researchers measured special proteins called adipokines, which are linked to fat tissue and…

This study tested whether a newer 3D imaging method (SPECT/CT) is as accurate as the standard 2D method for measuring how much the thyroid gland takes up a radioactive tracer. 27 people with underactive or overactive thyroids were scanned with both methods. The goal was to see if…

This study looked at 220 adults with treated hypothyroidism to see if a thinner thyroid gland makes it harder to place a breathing tube during general anesthesia. Researchers measured thyroid thickness with ultrasound before surgery and recorded intubation difficulty. The goal is…

This study looked at 729 breast cancer patients who had surgery followed by radiation. Researchers checked their thyroid function before and after treatment to see how many developed an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). The goal was to find out which patients are at higher ri…

This study looked at 558 people with congenital hypothyroidism, a rare thyroid condition found in newborns. Researchers examined their genes, medical images, and health records to find links between genetic changes and the type or severity of the disease. The goal is to improve e…
