Thermal Ablation Plus Drugs for Overactive Thyroid
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests combining heat treatment of the thyroid gland with antithyroid medications to treat primary hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid). It may help patients who haven't responded well to standard drugs, had side effects, or want faster symptom relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with primary hyperthyroidism confirmed by blood tests and symptoms
- Heart rate controlled to 90 beats per minute or lower
- Either not responding well to thyroid medications, experiencing severe side effects, or choosing not to have surgery or radioactive iodine treatment
- No severe bleeding disorders or major problems with heart, liver, or kidneys
- Thyroid gland positioned so doctors can safely access it with a needle
- Able to understand the study and willing to provide written consent

This trial compares two treatments for secondary hyperparathyroidism: thermal ablation (using heat to destroy overactive parathyroid tissue) and parathyroidectomy (surgical removal). It may help patients whose parathyroid hormone levels stay very high despite medication.
This study compares two treatments for primary hyperparathyroidism: a minimally invasive heat procedure (thermal ablation) versus traditional surgery (parathyroidectomy). It aims to find which option works better for controlling symptoms and calcium levels.
This trial is studying a treatment called thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer cells) for people with small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. It aims to see how well it works and to predict outcomes.
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided heat (thermal ablation) to treat thyroid cancer that has come back in the neck after a prior thyroidectomy. The goal is to destroy the recurrent tumor using a needle-like device, avoiding another surgery for patients whose cancer has not spread elsewhere.
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 minimally invasive heat treatment (thermal ablation) guided by ultrasound for small papillary thyroid cancers. It may be an option for patients who want to avoid surgery.
