L-thyroxine Clinical Trial
Official title:
Impact of Increasing Levothyroxine Dose in Ramadan for UAE Patients With Hypothyroidism: a Randomized Controlled Trial
The study aims to compare the mean change in Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels among patients with hypothyroidism treated with an increased dose of L-thyroxine (treatment group) versus standard/regular dose of L-thyroxine (control group) during the month of Ramadan.
The present study is an open-label, two-arm parallel groups, randomized controlled clinical trial that included Emirati patients with hypothyroidism who attended the Family Promotion Centre, Endocrinology Clinic, regularly. Eligible participants (n = 103) were randomly allocated to the treatment group (patients who received an increased dose of L-thyroxine, 25 mcg, n = 50) and the control group (patients who received standard/regular dose of L-thyroxine, n = 46). Both groups attended 5 visits before, during, and after Ramadan. Several tests were conducted including thyroid function, lipid profile, HbA1c, and Vitamin D. ;
