What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

After thyroid surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer, patients often need to take thyroid hormone at doses that keep TSH in a specific target range. Researchers at West China Hospital are testing whether adding a short educational video to standard instructions helps patients hit those targets more often. The trial enrolls 400 adults scheduled for thyroid surgery and randomly assigns them to receive either usual education alone or usual education plus the video. The team measures TSH compliance, patient satisfaction, knowledge, and anxiety to see whether video-based teaching is a practical addition to postoperative care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Educational video on postoperative TSH suppression therapy
What this could lead to
If the videos help, hospitals could use them to help thyroid cancer patients stick to their hormone-suppression targets after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an education study, not a test of a new drug, so it cannot change how thyroid cancer itself is treated. Videos may not improve compliance, and results from 400 patients at selected hospitals may not apply everywhere.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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 400 people

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

Expected to start

Oct 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 60 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients scheduled for thyroid surgery, aged between 18 and 60 years old Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to read and write, pregnant, or with a history of thyroid surgery; * suffering from other malignant tumors or mental disorders; * unable to complete the questionnaire independently or requiring assistance from others.
