First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests a decision support tool that uses blood samples from the first two weeks after thyroid surgery to predict the best levothyroxine dose. Normally, dose adjustments take months of trial and error. The trial will enroll 240 patients and compare the tool's guidance to standard care, measuring how quickly patients reach their target thyroid hormone levels and how they feel.
