Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two tools (LigaSure and bipolar diathermy) used during thyroid removal to see which works better. It may help if you need part or all of your thyroid taken out for a non-cancerous or low-risk cancerous condition.

This study compares two surgical approaches for safely identifying and protecting the recurrent laryngeal nerve (a nerve that controls your voice) during thyroid removal. The goal is to determine which method best prevents voice changes after surgery.
This trial is testing whether thyroid hormone replacement after surgery is safe for people with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It may help maintain normal hormone levels after part of the thyroid is removed.
This study compares two different anesthesia techniques used during planned thyroid removal surgery. Researchers want to see how each method affects your body's inflammatory response and how your body uses amino acids during recovery.
This study compares a non-surgical procedure (radiofrequency ablation) with partial thyroid removal (hemithyroidectomy) for treating small thyroid cancers. It aims to find out if the needle-based treatment is as effective as surgery, with fewer side effects.
This trial looks at a tool doctors can use to predict if a certain type of thyroid surgery (through the mouth or under the chin) will be challenging. It helps people who want less visible scarring after their thyroid cancer surgery.
This trial tests a surgical procedure to remove cancer-affected lymph nodes on the side of the neck in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those with confirmed or suspected spread to these nodes.
