NCT ID NCT07382973
First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
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. Researchers will track how quickly the wound closes and how much pain patients feel over 12 weeks.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
non-thermal plasma (helium-based)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple way to help surgical wounds heal faster and with less pain or infection after thyroid surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early trial (26 people) testing a device, not a drug. The effect may be small or not better than standard care, and results may not apply to other surgeries.
