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 trial tests whether a numbing injection in the neck (called a cervical plexus block) before total thyroidectomy lowers the body's stress response, measured with various biomarkers. It might help you recover better after surgery.
This trial tests whether a nerve block given in the neck before total thyroidectomy (surgery to remove the thyroid gland) reduces the body's stress response. It uses saliva tests to measure that response.
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 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 study compares different methods for managing pain after thyroid removal surgery to see which helps patients recover better and feel less pain. If you're having your entire thyroid removed, this trial could help doctors understand the best way to keep you comfortable afterward.
This study compares two medications, bupivacaine and ropivacaine, given as a neck block before thyroid surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. It may help reduce post-surgery discomfort.
