Recovery study after Cushing surgery for cortisol excess
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how people recover after surgery to treat Cushing syndrome and mild cortisol overproduction. It may help doctors understand what recovery looks like and how treatment affects cortisol levels and symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how Cushing’s syndrome affects people before treatment and what changes after treatment. It may help researchers understand what to expect and improve care for adults with newly diagnosed Cushing’s syndrome.
This is a study that collects and reviews information about how people with Cushing’s syndrome (including some mild forms and certain “silent” tumors) are diagnosed and treated, and what outcomes they have. It may help researchers understand which treatments work best in different types of the condition.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure how severe liver scarring is. It focuses on people with Cushing’s syndrome or suspected Cushing’s, or those with metabolic syndrome, to see how well the scan helps diagnose and assess severity.
This trial tests whether osilodrostat can lower blood pressure in people with Cushing's syndrome whose high blood pressure is not well controlled by their current medications. The drug works by reducing the production of the stress hormone cortisol, which is abnormally high in Cushing's syndrome.
This study follows adults with a new adrenal diagnosis to learn how adrenal diseases behave over time. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care.
This trial tests a new way to use a medicine called desmopressin with a special type of imaging (PET/CT) to help find cortisol-producing tumors in people with Cushing's syndrome. It may help doctors better locate the problem without needing as much radiation.
