THYROID DISEASES

This study tests a computer model called OptiThyDose that helps doctors find the best dose of thyroid medication for children with congenital hypothyroidism or Graves' disease. The model uses past lab results to keep thyroid hormone levels in a healthy range. About 150 children w…

This study tests whether a generative AI tool can help doctors diagnose complications and co-existing diseases in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The AI reviews patient records and suggests possible issues like lung or heart problems. Doctors then decide if the AI's suggestions…

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 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 will compare pain levels after three different surgical methods for removing lymph nodes in the neck (lateral neck dissection) in people with thyroid cancer. The three methods are robotic surgery, endoscopic surgery, and traditional open surgery. Researchers will measu…

This study aims to improve a prediction model that helps doctors know how difficult a less invasive thyroid surgery might be. Researchers will observe 300 people with thyroid cancer or benign nodules to see which factors, like age, weight, and tumor size, affect surgery difficult…

This study aims to create and test a scoring system called RTAS to evaluate how well surgeons perform robotic thyroidectomy, a surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. Researchers will observe 200 participants with thyroid cancer or benign nodules who are having this s…

This study investigates why some people with Graves' disease continue to feel mentally fatigued even after their thyroid levels return to normal. Researchers will compare blood and spinal fluid from 180 participants—60 with mental fatigue, 60 without, and 60 healthy controls—to f…

This study follows 4,094 adults in Shanghai who were part of an earlier health survey. Researchers will track them for up to 10 years to see how heart disease, kidney problems, and metabolic conditions like diabetes and obesity develop and interact. The goal is to better understa…
