Customizing electrical current during thyroid surgery could protect vocal cord nerves

NCT ID NCT07710365

First seen Jul 17, 2026 ยท Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether using a personalized electrical current to monitor the nerve that controls the vocal cords during thyroid surgery is as effective as the standard fixed current. Researchers will analyze data from over 600 patients to see if individualizing the stimulation reduces unnecessary nerve stress while still providing reliable monitoring. The goal is to improve surgical safety by tailoring the monitoring to each patient.
