What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tests whether a cold plasma device applied during and after thyroid surgery can speed up wound healing and reduce pain and infection. About 26 adults having their thyroid removed will be randomly assigned to get either standard wound care or the plasma treatment. Researchers will track how quickly the wound closes and how much pain patients feel over 12 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
non-thermal plasma (helium-based)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple way to help surgical wounds heal faster and with less pain or infection after thyroid surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early trial (26 people) testing a device, not a drug. The effect may be small or not better than standard care, and results may not apply to other surgeries.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 26 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 years or older. * Diagnosis of thyroid pathology requiring total or subtotal thyroidectomy. * Signed Informed Consent Form (ICF). * Patients capable of complying with the 12-week follow-up schedule. Exclusion Criteria: * History of previous neck surgery or radiation therapy in the cervical area. * Known history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring. * Presence of active systemic or local infection at the time of surgery. * Patients with implanted electronic devices (e.g., pacemakers or defibrillators) due to the use of RF-based plasma. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Concurrent use of systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs that may impair wound healing.
