New device to monitor nerves during thyroid surgery
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device to help protect nerves during thyroid surgery. It may help reduce the risk of nerve damage for people having surgery for benign or malignant thyroid disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) thyroid disease.
- You are scheduled for thyroid surgery.
- You have not had a previous nerve injury.
- You do not have an ongoing neurological disorder (like a nerve or brain condition).

This study compares two ways to monitor nerves during thyroid or parathyroid surgery to see which method works better. During surgery, doctors use electrical sensors to make sure they don't accidentally damage important nerves in your neck.
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.
This trial compares two nerve-monitoring techniques used during a scarless thyroid surgery performed through the mouth (called TOETVA). It is for people with benign thyroid nodules or early-stage thyroid cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes.
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.
This study tests whether using nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery helps protect the nerves that control your voice. It includes adults having one side of their thyroid removed and tracks voice changes before and after surgery.
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.
