NCT ID NCT06803732
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 measure pain on the day of surgery, and again at 1 month and 3 months after surgery, using a standard 0-to-10 pain scale. The goal is to find out which approach causes the least pain and discomfort.
