NCT ID: NCT06455371 Not yet recruiting - Thyroid Cancer Clinical Trials

Patient-centered Dosage of Levothyroxine

Start date: August 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Levothyroxine is the most used thyroid hormone replacement when the thyroid gland is failing. Because dosage adjustment normally takes several months, the investigators have developed a decision support tool (DST) that predicts optimal dosage based on repeated blood samples the first 2 weeks after initiation of therapy. In this randomized study the investigators will include patients that start levothyroxine therapy after total thyroidectomy. The use of DST to advice the physician about an early dosage adjustment will be compared with common clinical practice, that is dosage adjustment every 2 months. The effect of DST use will be assessed by studying the possible relationship between fast optimal dose adjustment, patient reported outcome measures, and ability to work.

The Effect of Mobile-Based Education on Postoperative Recovery and Quality of Life in Thyroidectomy Patients

Start date: April 22, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Thyroid diseases constitute one of the most common health problems around the world and in our country. In its treatment; Drug therapy, radioactive iodine therapy and surgical treatment can be applied alone or together. Advances in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases have led to an increase in the number of thyroidectomies. When there are no complications after thyroidectomy, patients are discharged from the hospital on the day of surgery or are hospitalized for only a few days. In this context, since technical care is given priority, discharge training remains incomplete. Patients who have had thyroidectomy are discharged within 1-2 days after surgery if no problems occur. For this reason, patient education provided by health professionals and especially nurses may be insufficient. Post-discharge patient education in surgical services can sometimes be ignored, and it is noteworthy that this situation is not given importance due to the busy nature of surgical services. Although short hospital stays after surgery are beneficial in many ways, it increases the need for patient education. In this study, a mobile application that covers the entire perioperative process and includes education will be developed for patients undergoing thyroidectomy. This developed mobile application aims to manage post-operative problems such as neck pain and discomfort and voice changes experienced by patients, and to improve post-operative recovery, voice quality and, accordingly, quality of life. In this context, it is believed that even in cases where patients cannot access health care professionals, their educational needs will be met, problem management will be provided with applications for the problems they experience, and accordingly, their post-operative recovery, voice and quality of life will increase, starting from the hospital before the surgery until the end of the recovery period, including the home care process after discharge.When the literature on the subject is examined, studies involving education in patients with thyroidectomy are limited. However, no studies have been found on mobile health applications that include training to reduce neck pain and discomfort experienced by thyroidectomy patients, ensure postoperative recovery, and improve voice quality and quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT06377943 Not yet recruiting - Thyroid Clinical Trials

The Interaction Between Resting Metabolic Rate, Physical Activity and Thyroid Hormone in Females

Start date: May 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This Study is focused on the interaction between resting metabolic rate (RMR), physical activity (PA), and thyroid hormones (TH). TH controls almost all the cell activities of the body so, it is known as one of the major regulatory hormones. This is the reason for individuals who suffer from thyroid disorders show abnormal metabolism. Recently it was suggested that interindividual variations in thyroid hormone levels also influence daily physical activity.

DEscripitive Patient Analysis to Enable Risk-based Quality Improvement Measures in a lArge iNternal mediCIne grouP Practice

EMANCIPATE
Start date: January 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Background: Clinical trials often include patients from large hospitals or university clinics. Information on patients cared for at offices from statutory health insurance-accredited physicians represent evidence gaps. Aims/Objectives: The present study has three aims: First, to systematically describe the patient population of a large group practice for internal medicine. Second, to identify high-risk patients using established risk scores. And third, to include routine imaging data to optimize patient management. Methods/Facility Enrolling Participants: This is a prospective, observational study assessing patients' baseline characteristics, risk evaluation and integrating data from imaging test. The setting of the present study is a large group practice for internal medicine which consists of statutory health insurance-accredited physicians. Study participants will be included during daily routine, real-world clinical care and therefore represent all-comers fulfilling the inclusion criteria: 1. Female or male patients aged above 18 years diagnosed with chronic liver disease, undergo on-site endoscopy, suffer from atherosclerosis, heart failure, are diagnosed with abnormal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, either overt or latent hypo- or hyperthyroidism, or are diagnosed with solitary or multiple thyroid nodules. 2. Routine laboratory results available within the last 3 months. 3. Available imaging data within the last 3 months performed on site. Perspective: The study is designed to evaluate the current situation and quality of health care in defined patient populations in the routine clinical setting of a large-scale public office. These data will provide a profound rationale to identify quality issues and limitations in our performance of guideline-conform treatment in routine patient care.

Nurse-led Medication Self-management Intervention in the Improvement of Medication Adherence

Start date: December 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Back ground & Aims Adult patients suffering from multimorbidity are at high risk of medication non-adherence. It has been well established that self-management support is an effective strategy to enhance medication adherence for patients with chronic conditions. However, little is known about the effect of the medication self-management intervention in Adult patients with multimorbidity. The aim of this study to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led medication self-management intervention in improving medication adherence and health outcomes in adult patients with multimorbidity. Methods This study is a single centre, single-blind, two-arm randomised controlled trial. Adult patients with multi-morbidity will be recruited from NCCCR Qatar. A total of 100 participants will be randomly allocated to receive standard care or standard care plus the medication self-management intervention. The intervention will be delivered by clinical nurse specialists. The 6-week intervention includes three face-to-face education sessions (2st week, 4rd week and 6th week) and two weekly (8th week and 10 week) follow-up phone calls. Participants in the control group continue to receive all respects of standard care offered by healthcare providers, including chronic disease management, drug prescription, referral to hospital specialists, health education and consultations regarding patients' diseases and treatments during centre visits. Outcome The primary outcome is medication adherence as measured by the 8-item Medication Adherence Report Scale. Secondary outcomes include medication self-management capacity (medication knowledge, medication beliefs, and medication self-efficacy), treatment experiences (medication treatment satisfaction and treatment burden). All outcomes will be measured at baseline, immediately post-intervention (7th week), and at 3-month post-intervention.

Hemostasis in Thyroidectomy, Comparison Between Diathermy and Ligasure

Start date: January 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Thyroidectomy is one of the most surgeries done by surgeons. Postoperative bleeding is a main complication for this surgery.surgeons usually do homeostasis by traditional diathermy as it is cheep and available in all hospitals and centres. Atlternatinve surgery devices have become popular to conventional hemostasis in thyroid surgery. These devices reduce operative time and post-operative complication .Investigators thought to examine relative efficiency of two alternative energy devices compared to each other in preventing post-operative complication between diathermy and ligasure.
