View clinical trials related to Thyroid Nodules.
Filter by:The purpose of this observational research is to evaluate and compare clinical outcomes after treatment for symptomatic benign multinodular goiter (MNG) patients. This is a data collection study in which we ask participants to give access to information generated before and after treatment of their condition.
There is an epidemic of thyroid cancer that is harmful to patients and the medical system. The study hypothesizes that the use of an electronic conversation aid during clinical visits can help patients and clinicians collaborate when deciding the next step in management for a thyroid nodule. The study aims to update a conversation aid prototype that was developed to support shared decision making in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer.

The study hypothesizes that the use of an electronic conversation aid during clinical visits can help patients and clinicians collaborate. The study aims to update a conversation aid prototype that was developed to support shared decision making in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer and conduct a pilot clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a larger efficacy study.
Thyroid nodules are common problems and although > 95% are stated to be benign, they may cause some problems like hyperthyroidism, compression symptoms, and cosmesis associated with their function, size and localization. Especially for these nodules, patients undergo surgery and face up with the problems associated with surgical complications although they are not cancer. In some studies, radiofrequency ablation previously used for intrabdominal tumors like hepatic metastasis...,was stated to be efficient in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules and in some recurrent thyroid cancer cases. Therefore, the investigators decided to use this method in our patients having nodules like previously mentioned and see the efficacy and safety of the technique.
