Brain-guided anesthesia for thyroid surgery
This study is testing a new type of brain-activity monitoring during thyroid surgery. It uses special stickers on your head to help guide the anesthesia, which may lead to a smoother recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.

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 a special brain-monitoring device (called Conox) during anesthesia for children having their tonsils and adenoids removed. The goal is to help doctors give the right amount of anesthetic medicine by watching your child's brain activity in real time.
This study examines how well a brain-monitoring device (called a bispectral index monitor) tracks your level of consciousness during surgery when you receive anesthesia through an IV. The findings may help doctors better manage anesthesia and keep you safer during procedures.
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine during thyroid surgery helps you wake up more calmly and comfortably. It may reduce side effects like confusion or shakiness after anesthesia.
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 compares two types of anesthesia used during thyroid surgery to see how they affect inflammation and amino acid metabolism in the body. The results may help improve recovery after surgery.
