Timing muscle relaxants for safer thyroid surgery
NCT ID NCT05126108
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 50 adults having thyroid or parathyroid surgery to see how quickly the muscle relaxant rocuronium wears off. Doctors need the drug to be gone so they can monitor a nerve that controls the voice box during surgery. The goal was to find the best timing for giving the relaxant without interfering with nerve monitoring.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- rocuronium
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help anesthesiologists time muscle relaxant use better for safer nerve monitoring during neck surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study (50 patients) that only looks at timing of drug clearance, not a new treatment. Results may not apply to all patients.
