Recruiting studies
- NCT07669701Enrolling by invitation
QR code discharge education for thyroid surgery patients
This study tests whether using a QR code (a barcode you scan with your phone) for discharge education helps patients feel more ready to leave the hospital after thyroid surgery. If you own a smartphone and speak Turkish, you may be able to join.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07707401Recruiting
WeChat neck exercises for recovery after thyroid surgery
This study tests whether simple neck exercises, guided through the WeChat app, can help you recover more quickly after thyroid surgery. If you have no serious complications and don't have neck problems, you may be able to join.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT03309384Recruiting
Monitoring during thyroid surgery to help predict complications
This study checks whether special monitoring done during thyroid surgery can help predict complications afterward. If you’re having a full (total) thyroidectomy, your team may use monitoring to better anticipate problems after surgery.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges Any age - NCT04775381RecruitingPhase 3
Vitamin D before thyroid surgery to prevent low calcium
This study tests whether taking vitamin D (cholecalciferol) before a total thyroid removal can reduce the risk of developing low blood calcium afterward. If you’re having your thyroid removed, the results may help prevent symptoms like tingling, cramps, or spasms caused by low calcium.
AuxerreAges 18 years+ - NCT04785443RecruitingPhase 3
Check whether dye-guided imaging helps find parathyroid glands
This study tests whether using a special camera with a fluorescent dye (called ICG angiography) during total thyroid surgery can help doctors find the parathyroid glands more reliably. It aims to lower the risk of “low parathyroid hormone,” which can lead to low calcium after surgery.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05189314Recruiting
Study of life quality changes with benign thyroid nodules
This study looks at how benign (non-cancer) thyroid nodules affect people’s day-to-day life and health outcomes. It may help doctors better understand what changes matter most to patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05391945Recruiting
Thyroid surgery and sleep apnea in people with goiters
This trial studies whether planned thyroidectomy (thyroid surgery) changes obstructive sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in people who have a goiter. It may help doctors understand whether treating the thyroid affects nighttime breathing.
BrusselsAges 18–90 - NCT05573828Recruiting
Using dye imaging to protect parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery
This trial studies whether a special “dye” imaging test during total thyroid surgery can help preserve your parathyroid gland function, which is important for calcium balance. It may reduce the risk of low calcium after surgery.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18–100 - NCT05732883RecruitingPhase 2
Dexamethasone after thyroid surgery to help voice and calcium
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) around the time of total thyroid surgery can improve voice outcomes and reduce low-calcium problems. It may help people avoid hoarseness and symptoms of hypocalcemia after surgery, especially those at risk.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06002984Recruiting
Nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery to protect your voice
This study tests a device that monitors a nerve near your voice box during thyroid surgery. The goal is to help protect your voice by giving the surgeon live feedback on the nerve's location and function.
SeoulAges 19–79 - NCT06158360Recruiting
Post-surgery symptoms after thyroid cancer surgery
This study looks at how you feel after thyroid surgery for cancer. It tests whether adding Chinese medicine treatments can help with symptoms like pain or fatigue during recovery.
Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06296420Recruiting
Swallowing problems after thyroid surgery
This study looks at swallowing problems after thyroid surgery. It aims to understand how common these issues are and help patients recover better.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06398795Recruiting
Dual-port thyroid surgery through the armpit
This trial tests a new type of minimally invasive thyroid surgery that uses two small openings under your collarbone to remove thyroid growths. It may be a good option if you want less visible scarring from your thyroid operation.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–90 - NCT06603415Recruiting
Hashimoto's thyroiditis study in Upper Egypt
This study looks at people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in Upper Egypt. It aims to learn more about the condition and how it affects patients.
SohagAges Any age - NCT06610604Recruiting
Thyroid nodule treatment and quality of life study
This study looks at how thyroid nodules affect your daily life and feelings after treatment. It compares quality of life in people who had microwave ablation versus those who had thyroid surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06623578Recruiting
Robotic vs. open surgery for thyroid cancer that has spread
This study compares a robotic surgery method using small incisions under the armpit with standard open surgery for papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes on one side of the neck. It aims to see which approach is better for removing cancer and recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07045870Recruiting
Pain relief methods after thyroid surgery
This study compares different ways to manage pain after thyroid removal surgery. It aims to find which method works best for recovery.
SohagAges 18–75 - NCT07382973Recruiting
NTP safety in thyroid surgery: preventing complications
This trial is testing if a technology called NTP (a type of low-temperature plasma) can help prevent complications and improve cancer control when they remove all or part of the thyroid gland. It's for adults having thyroid surgery.
Ocoyoacac, State of MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07582562Recruiting
Thyroid Surgery and Low Calcium Risk Factors
This study examines why some patients develop low calcium levels (hypoparathyroidism) after surgery to remove both sides of the thyroid gland. By understanding these risk factors, doctors hope to better predict and prevent this complication.
TallinnAges 18 years+ - NCT07600580RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve blocks for thyroid surgery to reduce stress response
This study tests whether a special numbing technique (nerve block) given during thyroid removal surgery can reduce your body's stress response and help you recover better. Researchers will measure how well this approach works compared to standard care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thyroidectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 44 recruiting thyroidectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a thyroidectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a thyroidectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
