First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a simple injection of mashed parathyroid tissue into the forearm during thyroid surgery. The goal is to prevent permanent low calcium levels that require lifelong medication. About 100 adults having thyroid surgery will receive this injection, and researchers will measure how well the graft works and check for side effects.
