Neck nerve block may ease Body's stress during thyroid surgery
NCT ID NCT07600580
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a nerve block in the neck, given during thyroid surgery, can lower the body's stress response. 48 adults will be split into two groups: one gets standard anesthesia, the other gets the same plus a nerve block. Researchers will measure stress markers in blood and saliva to see if the block helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- levobupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a standard nerve block during thyroid surgery to lower stress and speed recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study (48 people) measuring biomarkers, not direct outcomes like pain or recovery time. The block may not reduce stress meaningfully.
