Treating benign thyroid nodules with a new device
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that uses nanosecond electrical pulses to treat benign thyroid nodules. It may be an option if you have a benign nodule causing symptoms like discomfort or anxiety, and you're looking for a non-surgical treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a thyroid nodule that is confirmed to be non-cancerous (benign) by at least one biopsy or special testing.
- Your nodule is less than 80 milliliters in size.
- The nodule is causing symptoms like pressure on your throat, cosmetic concerns, or anxiety that make you want treatment.
- You have a single dominant nodule or one that stands out among others in a multinodular goiter.
- Your vocal cords move normally and the nodule is in a location that allows treatment.
- You do not have a pacemaker, ICD, or other implantable electronic device.

This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to treat thyroid nodules that are not cancerous but have uncertain results from a biopsy. It may be an option for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery.
This trial tests a procedure called radiofrequency ablation to treat small, low-risk thyroid cancer. If you have a small nodule (2 cm or less) that is confirmed as cancer or suspicious for cancer (Bethesda 5/6), this treatment may be an option instead of surgery.
This study looks at radiofrequency ablation, a heat-based procedure, to shrink a benign (non-cancer) thyroid nodule in adults who identify as LatinX. It may help reduce symptoms from the lump while tracking safety and results.
This trial is testing a new, non-surgical treatment that uses short electric pulses to destroy small papillary thyroid cancers. It may be an option for people with small tumors that haven't spread.
This study tracks people who have already received a new type of thyroid treatment called PED-TAE (pressure-enabled embolization) using the TriNav system. It aims to see how well this procedure works for various thyroid conditions, including overactive thyroid, large goiters, and benign nodules causing symptoms.
This trial tests a new procedure called nanosecond pulsed field ablation (nsPFA) to shrink benign thyroid nodules that are causing symptoms like tightness in the throat or trouble swallowing.
