New tool to protect voice nerve during thyroid surgery
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that monitors the nerve controlling your voice during thyroid surgery, to help reduce the risk of voice changes. It may be an option if you're having surgery for a thyroid condition.

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 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 uses computer video analysis to help surgeons see and protect the parathyroid glands and the nerve that controls your voice during endoscopic thyroid surgery. If you join, the team will record your surgery and use the video to improve the technology that could reduce complications.
This study compares two ways surgeons find the nerve that controls your voice box during thyroid surgery. The goal is to see which approach better protects the nerve, which can reduce the risk of voice changes after surgery.
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 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.
