New needle-free thyroid treatment tested in UK for first time

NCT ID NCT07046546

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tests the safety of a new, less invasive procedure called thyroid artery embolization (TAE) for people with large, non-cancerous thyroid lumps or an overactive thyroid. Instead of surgery or radioactive iodine, doctors block the blood supply to the thyroid using tiny particles, which makes the gland shrink. The study will enroll 10 adults in the UK to see if the procedure is safe and to gather information for a larger future trial.
