Toxic multinodular goitre

This study looks at whether giving Lugol's solution before removing the thyroid gland can lower the chance of two common surgery complications: low calcium levels from damaged parathyroid glands and vocal cord weakness from nerve injury. About 182 adults with overactive thyroid f…

This study tests whether a device called PTeye, which uses near-infrared light to make parathyroid glands glow, helps surgeons find and protect these tiny glands during thyroid surgery. The trial will compare outcomes in 154 patients who have their first total thyroidectomy, with…

This study tests whether using a special dye (indocyanine green) during total thyroidectomy helps surgeons see and protect the parathyroid glands, reducing the risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism. About 242 adults scheduled for total thyroid removal will be randomly assigned to …

This study is testing whether giving patients unlimited access to a secure website with an explanatory video about thyroid surgery can lower their anxiety before the operation. About 220 adults scheduled for thyroid surgery will take part. Researchers will measure anxiety using s…

This study tests whether adding neck massage, stretches, and pain education to standard voice exercises can improve voice, swallowing, and scar quality after total thyroidectomy. Adults scheduled for total thyroid removal are invited to participate. They will attend sessions with…

This study tests whether giving a drug called dexmedetomidine during thyroid surgery helps patients wake up more smoothly. The drug aims to reduce coughing, agitation, and the amount of anesthesia needed. About 100 adults having thyroid surgery will be randomly assigned to receiv…

This study tests whether a cold plasma device applied during and after thyroid surgery can speed up wound healing and reduce pain and infection. About 26 adults having their thyroid removed will be randomly assigned to get either standard wound care or the plasma treatment. Resea…

This study at the National Institutes of Health is looking at 1,000 adults with known or suspected hormone gland (endocrine) disorders. The goal is to better understand these conditions and help train doctors. Participants may receive tests, treatments, or surgery as part of thei…

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study tests whether a nerve block in the neck, given during thyroid surgery, can lower the body's stress response. 48 adults will be split into two groups: one gets standard anesthesia, the other gets the same plus a nerve block. Researchers will measure stress markers in bl…

This study enrolls adults with known or suspected endocrine (hormone gland) disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, to help researchers learn more about these conditions. Participants will undergo medical exams, blood and imaging tests, and possibly genetic testing. The m…

This study is testing a tool called B-COMPASS that uses a 22-question survey to predict whether people will follow their prescribed treatments. Researchers will enroll 3100 adults with cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, nerve, cancer, or rare diseases across Europe. The goal is t…

This study looks at the best dose of a sedative called ciprofol for people having thyroid surgery. About 101 adults will receive this medicine to put them to sleep, and researchers will track how their brain activity changes. The goal is to find the exact amount needed for safe a…
