This trial investigates whether placing a small piece of absorbable material (oxidized regenerated cellulose) over the nerves that control the voice box during total thyroidectomy can improve early voice quality. Thirty adults scheduled for thyroid surgery will be randomly assign…

This study looked at whether removing benign thyroid nodules without placing a surgical drain is safe and effective. Eighty adults having thyroid surgery were randomly assigned to either the standard drain or a no-drain, sutureless technique. The goal was to see if the no-drain a…

This study tested a new method called the 'Huaxi Tunnel Technique' to protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroid surgery. The technique uses a diluted epinephrine solution injected along the nerve to create a protective tunnel, reducing the risk of injury. The trial inv…

This study compared two types of thyroid surgery: one using a microscope and the standard approach. Researchers looked at blood loss, nerve damage, and low calcium levels after surgery in 74 patients with thyroid cancer or other thyroid conditions. The goal was to see if the micr…

This study tested whether doing gentle neck exercises for 10 days after thyroid surgery could reduce pain and improve quality of life. 93 adults who had their thyroid removed were split into two groups: one did the exercises, the other received standard care. Researchers measured…

This study tested whether spraying a blue dye called methylene blue onto tissues during thyroid surgery helps surgeons better see and protect the nerve that controls voice and the glands that regulate calcium. 136 adults with benign thyroid nodules took part. The goal was to redu…

This small study tested whether injecting a fluorescent dye called fluorescein sodium helps surgeons see nerves during head and neck surgery. Eight adults having open head or neck surgery received the dye through an IV. Surgeons then rated how well the glowing nerves matched stan…

This completed observational study at Uşak University examined 150 adults hospitalized in the endocrinology department. Researchers measured breathing, muscle strength, pain, fatigue, sleep quality, physical activity, balance, and nerve function. The goal was to better understand…

This completed study collected extra blood samples from 28 adults with thyroid disorders to help standardize thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) tests. Different labs often use different tests, making it hard to compare results. By analyzing these samples, researchers hope to make …
