Nerve blocks for thyroid surgery to reduce stress response
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special numbing technique (nerve block) given during thyroid removal surgery can reduce your body's stress response and help you recover better. Researchers will measure how well this approach works compared to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in good overall health (ASA I or II – your doctor will confirm this)
- Your thyroid is working normally before surgery (no over- or under-active thyroid)
- No skin infection where the numbing injection would be given
- You can receive the medications used in the study safely
- You are not pregnant

This study tests whether a numbing injection in the neck can lower the body's stress response during thyroid removal surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably after the operation.
This study looks at whether a numbing injection on both sides of the neck (cervical plexus block) reduces the body's stress response during thyroid surgery. It uses saliva samples to measure stress. It may help you recover more smoothly after a total thyroidectomy.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in the neck to see which one provides better pain relief during and after thyroid surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve comfort for patients undergoing total thyroidectomy.
This study compares two doses of a numbing medicine injected near the nerves in your neck before thyroid surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose provides enough pain relief with fewer side effects, such as affecting your breathing.
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.
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) around the wound after thyroid surgery to see which is better at reducing pain after the operation. It aims to find a simple, effective way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
