Comparing two types of anesthesia for thyroid surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—one given through a vein (TCI) and one inhaled—to see which causes fewer breathing tube and airway problems after thyroid surgery. The goal is to find a safer and more comfortable recovery for patients.

This study compares two different ways doctors can put patients to sleep for spine surgery and measures how the patient's heart and blood pressure respond. The goal is to see which method is safer and more stable during surgery.
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 trial compares recovery after two types of general anesthesia: one given through an IV (propofol) and one inhaled as a gas. It aims to see which approach leads to a smoother recovery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This trial is testing different types of breathing tubes used during thyroid surgery in women. It aims to find which tube works best to keep the airway safe and reduce side effects.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for thyroid surgery: one with opioids (strong painkillers) and one without. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better right after surgery, with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia—total intravenous (TIVA) versus inhaled gas—to see which one causes less nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic surgery in women. It may help choose the best option for your recovery.
