Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07428057Recruiting
Low Calcium After Thyroid Surgery Study
This study looks at why some people develop low calcium levels after thyroid surgery. It aims to understand risk factors by reviewing medical records of patients who had their thyroid removed at Minia University Hospital.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07068048Enrolling by invitation
Steroid wash during thyroid surgery to protect voice nerves
This trial tests if rinsing the surgical area with a steroid drug (dexamethasone) during thyroid surgery can help prevent damage to the nerve that controls your vocal cords. It may lower the risk of voice changes after surgery.
Petaling Jaya, SelangorAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07037264Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for thyroid surgery scars
This study tests if a special laser can improve scars from thyroid surgery. It is for people with fresh or older scars in the middle of the neck.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT06738888Recruiting
Better predicting easy thyroid removal through mouth or under chin
This study compares two approaches for thyroid removal surgery—one through the mouth and one under the chin—to find which is easier to perform. It is for people with thyroid nodules or early thyroid cancer that hasn't spread.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06671184Recruiting
Predicting difficult thyroid surgery for less scarring
This trial looks at a tool doctors can use to predict if a certain type of thyroid surgery (through the mouth or under the chin) will be challenging. It helps people who want less visible scarring after their thyroid cancer surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05869058Recruiting
Imaging test to check blood flow in parathyroid tissue
This trial evaluates a new imaging method during endoscopic thyroid surgery to detect and assess blood flow to nearby parathyroid tissue. Better detection of blood flow may help reduce the risk of parathyroid-related hormone problems after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thyroidectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 43 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.
