Near-infrared camera versus standard surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares a special camera that uses near-infrared light to help find overactive parathyroid glands during surgery, versus the standard approach without the camera. It might help make the surgery more precise and successful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have primary hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands).
- You are scheduled for a bilateral neck exploration (the surgeon will check both sides of your neck).
- You will only have parathyroid surgery, not any other procedure like removing your thyroid.

This study tests two advanced imaging techniques (PET/MR and PET/CT) to find overactive parathyroid glands or tumors that need surgery. Participants get a special scan before surgery to help surgeons locate the problem more accurately.
This study compares a newer type of scan (18F-choline PET/CT) to standard imaging to help doctors locate overactive parathyroid glands. The goal is to see if the newer scan works better for planning surgery in people with primary hyperparathyroidism.
This study tests a new camera that helps surgeons see tissues more clearly during surgery. It may help improve surgical precision and safety.
This study looks at whether a special scan (choline PET/CT) done before surgery can replace the need for a quick hormone test during parathyroid surgery. It may help make surgery faster and less invasive.
This trial tests whether a special camera (autofluorescence) can help surgeons find abnormal parathyroid glands during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. It involves exploratory surgery, not a focused approach, and may help improve surgical success.
This study tests a new device that helps surgeons see parathyroid glands during surgery, so they can confirm the gland is removed correctly and reduce complications. It may help you by making your minimally invasive parathyroidectomy more precise and safer.
