Comparing a wound-healing gel to standard care after thyroid or parathyroid surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares a special wound-healing gel (called AMNIOEFFECT) with standard care after thyroid or parathyroid surgery. The goal is to see if the gel helps your incision heal better.

This trial studies whether applying a silicone ointment before and around the time of planned head or neck surgery can improve how your wound heals after surgery. It may help reduce problems like poor scar healing, but you can only join if you meet specific medical and safety requirements.
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.
This study looks at how a wound dressing or treatment affects healing in surgical cuts that are closed with sutures or similar methods. You may be able to join if you’re having a skin surgery on the neck, trunk, or arms/legs with a long enough wound you can follow up on.
This study tests a special imaging technique that helps surgeons see and protect the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. It may reduce the risk of damage to these glands, which control calcium levels.
This study tests whether a powder made from amniotic membrane (the tissue that surrounds a baby in the womb) can help heal large scalp wounds after Mohs surgery. It may help the wound heal faster and with less scarring.
This study compares two ways of sealing blood vessels during thyroid surgery to see which one works better. If you are having your thyroid removed, this trial may help improve your recovery.
