Kaohsiung, TaiwanAges 20–75 - NCT04666103Recruiting
Study of neck anatomy in thyroid surgery
This study looks at how the structures in the neck affect thyroid surgery outcomes. You may be asked about your diagnosis and pre-surgery neck imaging to better understand surgical safety for people with certain thyroid conditions.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT05088187Recruiting
Study of thinking and quality of life after thyroid surgery
This study looks at how thyroid surgery affects thinking (cognition) and day-to-day quality of life. It may help patients and doctors understand what to expect and how to support people after surgery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06918223Recruiting
Video to help patients decide on thyroid surgery

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07131800Enrolling by invitation
Voice changes after breathing tube in head and neck surgery
This study looks at how your voice may change after a breathing tube is used during surgery. It focuses on people having thyroid, head and neck, or abdominal surgery to see if there are any voice changes that can be measured or noticed.
ZagrebAges 18–70 - NCT06765941Recruiting
PTeye vs surgeon's eyes for parathyroid protection in thyroid surgery
This trial tests whether a device called PTeye helps surgeons better identify and protect the parathyroid glands during first-time total thyroid removal surgery, compared to relying on the surgeon's eyes alone.
Krakow, MałopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06316895Recruiting
Thermal ablation for small, low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial is studying a treatment called thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells) for people with small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It aims to see how well it works and to predict outcomes.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07516990Recruiting
Parathyroid Tissue Injection During Thyroid Surgery
This study tests whether injecting parathyroid tissue into the forearm during thyroid surgery helps prevent low calcium levels after surgery. Parathyroid glands control calcium in your body, and they can be damaged during thyroid surgery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07445659Recruiting
Brain-guided anesthesia for thyroid surgery
This study is testing a new type of brain-activity monitoring during thyroid surgery. It uses special stickers on your head to help guide the anesthesia, which may lead to a smoother recovery.
Kayseri, KayseriAges 18–70 - NCT07462195RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine for smoother recovery after thyroid surgery
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine during thyroid surgery helps you wake up more calmly and comfortably. It may reduce side effects like confusion or shakiness after anesthesia.
HanoiAges 18–65 - NCT06468696Recruiting
Scarless thyroid surgery study
This trial is testing a specific type of scarless thyroid surgery (through the chest) and seeing how well it works for people with thyroid tumors that haven't spread. It might be a good fit if you want to avoid a neck scar.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06222606Recruiting
Surgery for Thyroid Cancer With or Without Special Light to Protect Calcium Glands
This study tests whether using a special light (called autofluorescence) during thyroid cancer surgery helps lower the risk of a common side effect—hypoparathyroidism, which can cause low calcium levels. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for a complete thyroid removal and have normal calcium before surgery.
Aarhus, DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06800768Recruiting
PET scan for finding thyroid cancer that has returned after surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better find thyroid cancer that has come back or spread after surgery. It may help your doctor decide on the best next steps for your care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07589660Recruiting

This study tests whether a structured online follow-up program helps patients recover better after thyroid surgery. You'll use your smartphone to check in with your care team instead of always coming to the hospital.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06959511RecruitingPhase 2
Zanzalintinib for advanced thyroid cancer before surgery
This trial tests a drug called zanzalintinib for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has spread nearby. The goal is to see if taking this pill before surgery can shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove.
