NCT ID NCT05851560
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether applying oxidized regenerated cellulose and hyaluronic acid during thyroid surgery can prevent painful adhesions that often form after the procedure. 45 adults with benign goiter or thyroid cancer were enrolled. The goal was to see if these barriers reduce neck discomfort, swallowing problems, and skin sticking to the trachea.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
oxidized regenerated cellulose and hyaluronic acid
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a safe way to reduce neck discomfort, swallowing difficulty, and skin sticking after thyroid surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The anti-adhesion effect is still uncertain.
