NCT ID: NCT06405919 Completed - Clinical trials for Incidence of Thyroid Cancer in Long Standing MNG

Risk of Malignancy in Endemic Long Standing Nodular Goitres: a Prospective Cohort Study

Start date: March 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To determine the incidence of thyroid cancer in patients with long standing goitres presenting for surgery.

NCT ID: NCT05434715 Completed - Thyroid Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Minimal Invasive Thyroidectomy

Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goals of minimally invasive approaches are better cosmetic results with small neck scar, decreasing postoperative pain, and shortening of hospital stay periods without postoperative complications. The concept of surgical invasiveness cannot be limited to the length and site of the skin incision; it must be extended to all structures dissected during the procedure. Conventional thyroidectomy without raising subplatysmal flaps has proven to be effective in reducing postoperative pain and seroma

NCT ID: NCT05180214 Completed - Thyroid Nodule Clinical Trials

Analgesia for Thyroidectomy Using Bilateral Superficial Cervical Plexus Block With Bupivacaine Only or Adding Ketorolac to it.

Start date: January 17, 2021
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Thyroidectomy is considered a common operation with moderate to severe postoperative pain in some patients. Patients are divided into two groups. Bupivacaine group received bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) with 10 ml of bupivacaine (0.25%) and 1 ml of normal saline on each side and the Bupivacaine Ketorolac group received (BSCPB) with 10 ml of bupivacaine (0.25%) and 1 ml of ketorolac (15 mg) on each side.

NCT ID: NCT04782856 Completed - Thyroid Cancer Clinical Trials

Energy Metabolism in Thyroidectomized Patients

Start date: October 28, 2020
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research study is to measure the changes in energy metabolism (how the body burns energy), cardiovascular function (heart function), and lipid metabolism (cholesterol break down and building) before and after thyroidectomy (surgical removal of thyroid gland) in response to two approved therapies for hypothyroidism: levothyroxine (LT4) or Liothyronine/levothyroxine (LT3/LT4) combination therapy.

NCT ID: NCT04632524 Completed - Clinical trials for Haemodynamic Stability

Evaluation of the Role of Low Dose Magnesium Sulfate in Anesthesia for Toxic Goiter Resection

Anesthesia
Start date: October 16, 2020
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Anesthesia for toxic goiter removal is a challenging because of of hemodynamic instability especially during induction, intubation, manipulations of the gland, after removal of the gland and during emergence. So, hemodynamic stability is required all through the operation and even in the first 12 hours of the postoperative period to protect against complications e.g., hypertension, tachycardia, myocardial ischemia, bleeding and thyrotoxic crisis.Mg sulphate used in blunting pressor response during laryngoscopy and intubation. Also it was used in controlled hypotension technique. Also it was reported in decreasing postoperative nausea, vomiting, shivering and postoperative complications compared to controlled group.

NCT ID: NCT04482907 Completed - Thyroid Nodule Clinical Trials

Effect of Dill in Thyroiditis and Nodular Goiter Patients

Dill
Start date: February 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study was to investigate the functional and morphological effects of Anethum graveolens L. in patients with thyroiditis and nodular goiter by evaluating hormone levels, anti-Inflammatory markers and comparing thyroid nodule sizes measured by ultrasonography for 90 days. The effect of Anethum graveolens L. was evaluated in euthyroid goiter patients diagnosed with benign thyroid nodule via fine needle aspiration biopsy. Aerial parts of Anethum graveolens L. were dried and grinded to yield a fine powder. Size 1 hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsules were filled with 300 mg powder. Placebo was prepared in the same manner using maltodextrin. Patients were suggested to take 3 pills a day. Blood samples were collected at the initial and the final day for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), anti-thyroglobulin (Anti-Tg) and C-reactive protein (CRP) analysis. Nodule sizes were also measured at the beginning and at the end of the trial with ultrasonography to identify the changes and effectiveness of dill dosage forms. After 90 days in the study, the status of TSH, fT3, fT4, anti-TPO and CRP levels were examined in the group with and without Anethum graveolens L.. Again, after the study, the size of thyroid nodules was evaluated in the group who received and did not receive Anethum graveolens L. by ultrasonography.

NCT ID: NCT04304794 Completed - Clinical trials for Hyperthyroidism/Thyrotoxicosis

Iodinated Contrast Media Induced Hyperthyroidism

Start date: January 2, 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The proper synthesis of thyroid hormones is dependent on adequate iodine supply. The mean daily iodine intake recommended by World Health Organization is 150 mg. Iodinated contrast medium (ICM) typically contains 13 500 mg of free iodine and 15-60 g of bound iodine, an amount well above acceptable upper level. In a situation of excess iodine, thyroid discontinues the release of hormones (Wolff-Chaikoff effect), which is usually transient, although can persist causing hypothyroidism. Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism (IIH), known as the Jod-Basedow phenomenon is infrequent, but elderly patients and individuals with autonomously functioning nodular goiters are at higher risk of developing this dysfunction. According to recent studies the risk of ICM-induced hyperthyroidism appears to be low. The prevalence has not been well assessed and varies from 1 % to 10 %. Currently, there are no specific guidelines concerning the prophylactic therapy of IIH. American Thyroid Association (ATA) does not recommend routine administration of antithyroid drugs before iodinated contrast medium for all patients, however, advises to consider prophylaxis in patients at high risk of developing IIH or with cardiovascular comorbidities. ATA recommends avoidance of additional iodine and administration of b-blockers alone or with antithyroid drugs as a treatment of IIH, depending on the severity of hyperthyroidism. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of ICM on thyroid status and advantages of prophylactic therapy during ICM exposure in patients with euthyroid goiter and cardiovascular comorbidities. The association between the incidence of IIH and thyroid volume was also assessed.

NCT ID: NCT04009863 Completed - Clinical trials for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

HIFU Ablation vs Fixed-dose RAI-131 Therapy in Moderate-sized Non-toxic MNG

Start date: April 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

After obtaining informed consent, eligible subjects will be assigned randomly into either High intensity focused ultrasound group (HIFU) or Radioactive iodine (131I) therapy group (RAIT). After treatment, they will be followed up for 4 visits (1-month, 3-month, 6- month, 12-month of post treatment). At each visit, they will have physical examination, regular blood test and questionnaire to evaluate their quality of life. The collected data will be used to compare the effectiveness between HIFU and RAIT for non-toxic multi-nodular goiter (NMNG). The primary purepose is to find out the best non-invasive way in treating NMNG. For HIFU, you may experience: 1. Mild bruising and redness at the site of treatment 2. Edema of the skin tissue 3. Pain/discomfort during the procedure 4. Skin burns but rare (<1%) 5. Vocal cord paresis on the side of the treated lobe but rare (<1%) 6. Unintentional damage to the surrounding tissue (outside the planned treatment area). For RAIT, you may experience neck tenderness or sore throat in the following few days as developing moderate inflammation in the thyroid and producing discomfort in the neck or throat area. Your symptoms may turn worse for first few week, but will improve over weeks.

NCT ID: NCT03469310 Completed - Thyroid Cancer Clinical Trials

Minimizing Narcotic Analgesics After Endocrine Surgery

Start date: March 9, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This research is being done to better understand and test if the investigators can minimize narcotic medication for controlling pain after thyroid or parathyroid surgery. This research will be performed at Doctors Hospital At Renaissance in the investigators clinic and the perioperative area. Participants will be randomly chosen to receive one of two options for pain management that the investigators are already using in the care of patients after surgery. One option includes a narcotic medication and one option includes a non-narcotic and a narcotic as needed. Participants will be asked to complete a form about the level of pain and how much pain medication was needed after surgery in the hospital and while at home. Participants will not have to do any additional visits to participate in this study. The investigators will obtain the research materials at the same time as the usual care visits around the participants' surgery.
