Thyroid surgery and sleep apnea in people with goiters
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) for a goiter
- You have not had previous surgery in the neck area
- You have not had radiation therapy to your neck
- You can understand the study language well enough to follow instructions
- You do not have a known chest or breathing condition that already narrows the upper airways

This study looks at swallowing problems after thyroid surgery. It aims to understand how common these issues are and help patients recover better.
This trial tests whether completely removing the thyroid gland (total thyroidectomy) can relieve long-lasting neck and throat symptoms in people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. If you have persistent discomfort that hasn't improved with other treatments, surgery might help improve your quality of life.
This study uses a sleep test to look at breathing and sleep patterns in people with nasal polyps who need surgery because medicine didn’t help. It may help doctors understand how nasal polyps affect sleep and how surgery changes those sleep measurements.
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation implant for sleep apnea when other treatments haven't worked. It may help if you have moderate to severe apnea, a BMI under 32, and have tried CPAP and a mouth device without success.
This trial is testing whether removing enlarged tonsils can help treat obstructive sleep apnea in adults. If you have sleep apnea and your tonsils are large, this surgery might improve your breathing and sleep.
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
