Preventing low parathyroid after thyroid surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study aims to find ways to detect and prevent low parathyroid function after thyroid surgery. If you are having your whole thyroid removed, joining could help researchers learn how to improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having or have had surgery to remove the entire thyroid gland or both sides of the thyroid.
- You do not have a parathyroid gland disease (like overactive or underactive parathyroid).
- You have not had surgery on your neck before.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to attend follow-up visits and agree to participate.

This study looks at how completely removing the thyroid gland affects the nearby parathyroid glands (which control calcium) and your overall quality of life. If you're having a total thyroid removal and meet a few health conditions, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a donated parathyroid gland can help people with low parathyroid hormone (hypoparathyroidism) control their calcium levels and reduce symptoms. Participants will receive transplant and short-term immune-suppressing drugs.
This study compares a new device (PTeye) with the standard way of removing the entire thyroid gland (total thyroidectomy). It aims to see if the device helps protect the tiny glands that control calcium levels, so you may have fewer calcium problems after surgery.
This study examines why some patients develop low calcium levels (hypoparathyroidism) after surgery to remove both sides of the thyroid gland. By understanding these risk factors, doctors hope to better predict and prevent this complication.
This study tests whether calcium supplements help patients whose parathyroid glands aren't working properly after thyroid surgery. The parathyroid glands control calcium levels in your body, and they can be accidentally injured during thyroid removal.
This study looks at why some people develop low calcium levels after thyroid surgery. It aims to understand risk factors by reviewing medical records of patients who had their thyroid removed at Minia University Hospital.
