Block for stress during thyroid surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 trial compares two numbing techniques for placing a breathing tube while you're awake. It aims to find which method works better for people with limited neck movement who need neck surgery.
